High water

The Northeast wind pushes water into the bay and up the creeks.  It also kept the sky gloomy with brief moments of sun or rain.  Chickadees and cardinals came out anyway to feed.  A hummer flew by the feeder without stopping.  A dove paced around the patio.  Bumblebees kept working on the rosemary.

This wind from the NE that started Sunday is supposed to last for another week.  I was not ready for summer to end, but by the time we see sun again the water would be too chilly.  So the pool got covered for the winter.  A dove poked around under the now-dead sunflowers.  A moonflower tossed in the gusts.  The spider had not ventured out when I last checked.
