Wet

The sky is overcast and a Southwest wind is rushing the lowest clouds along.  Everything is wet but no rain is falling.  Squirrels are up and one is definitely nesting in the top of the red cedar.  A cardinal, titmice, and sparrows have been to the feeder.  Geese paddled on the creek while an osprey, a gull, and crows flew over it.  The daffodils are done, but the fried-egg narcissus are opening. 

There was a brief rain at noon and it has slowly been drying out since then.  The wind pushing the clouds shifted to the West and slowed.  Two gray foxes crossed the pool mid-afternoon.  K got photos - I missed seeing them.  The sparrows, chickadees, and titmice came around for a late afternoon snack. 

The sky cleared toward evening and sunsent painted the remaining clouds pink.  The waxing moon was bright at bedtime.
