Humid, white sky

The sky is more white than blue.  Finches and chickadees came for breakfast.  I glimpsed a hummer. 

The palamedes swallowtail pulled the same trick today but a sulphur posed on the pea flowers.  There are other butterflies around.  Titmice joined the usual birds at lunch.  There are more caterpillars on the azalea. The sunshine is fitful but it is hot.

A squirrel keeps tossing leafy twigs down and dropping acorns - it's getting dangerous.  I finally saw a honeybee today, on the rosemary.   I rescued a lot of spiders, including one carrying a pearl of eggs.  The argiope has laid a second egg sac by the front door.
