Early on, there were massed cumulus clouds on the Northern horizon, but that shifted to dark rain clouds by mid morning. A painted lady, (the same one?), breakfasted on the sunflowers, then took refuge on the house wall under the overhang. That's all the animal life so far.
The rain started just after 10 am and the temperature plunged. Around noon, the rain became intermittent and there were even brief periods of sun in the afternoon. The goldfinch pair showed up during lunch as did an American (not painted) lady butterfly. A Carolina wren visited later and then tufted titmice. Dragonflies and skinks put in an appearance.
