Summer begins

At least three chickadees are tussling over who gets to perch at the feeder.  They are apparently too young to know what other things to perch on and what is too weak.  The hummer came, as did a Carolina wren, house finches, and cardinals.  It is cool and cloudy.

I spent the morning with children building fairy houses.  Despite the prediction of 0% precipitation, it has rained off-and-on.  Toward evening, the sky began to clear and the clouds tinted up.
