White sky

While sunny, there was a definite layer of cloud glazing the sky.  Titmice joined the regulars at the feeder.  The white spot squirrel visited as did a young male.  She drank from the creek - I'd better hose out the birdbath. Cardinals made the berry bushes shake.  A slug stopped half way across the patio. 

A persistent black swallowtail laid eggs on my parsley and rue. 

The sky cleared toward evening and the sun lit wispy clouds.  At twilight, a mockingbird shook the beautyberry as it plucked off a late snack.  Meanwhile the cardinals were having their bedtime snack on the feeder.
