Brrrrr

The wind is cold despite the sun.  Puffy cumulus are floating on a bright sky.  The sparrows are up and foraging.  An egret is stalking below the dam.  Today's morning glories are dark pink, yesterday's were a purplish blue.  I wonder why the plants alternate?  Later some of the blue opened, spoiling my hypothesis. 

At lunch, in addition to the sparrows, chickadees, finches, and cardinals came to the feeder.  A yellow rumped warbler and a woodpecker hung out in the dogwood.  Meanwhile, clouds filled the sky and turned the day gloomy. 

Sparrows and cardinals infested the peavine as afternoon turned to evening. Sunset caught me by surprise.  I thought the gray overcast would be impenetrable, but suddenly the Western sky blazed with color.
