Rain

Sigh.  We are now about 4 inches over average rainfall for this year.  Too bad it can't go off and fall on the left coast.  The regulars were accompanied by doves and wrens.  I heard jays because K had the windows open to let the damp in.

The birds were hungry enough to come out anyway but they were soaked and looked miserable.  And the feeder counterweight kept tripping so the birds were more than usually unwilling to share.  An earthworm crawled across the patio. A brown lacewing sheltered under the door handle.  I stayed inside.
