Overnight rain

The rain was late enough to soak the newspaper. Ick.  But it was clearing when we got up.  A parade of birds came: doves, a female goldfinch, a female hummingbird, titmice, the regulars, and maybe a Carolina wren. 

Well, it got dark again and looked very like raining by mid afternoon.  A titmouse, a hummer, and a wren all dashed away when I walked into the breakfast room.  I think it was a house wren.

Scattered drops of rain fell.  The pool contained one live frog and one dead cicada, much smaller than yesterday's.  I suspect the frog of being the same one rescued before, same size, same color.  There were also spiders and a biting fly.  Why couldn't they get together?  The air was quite cool compared to the water.
