Dark walls of cloud passed over and rain fell mid morning. An egret stood on a neighbor's dock. Brown thrashers poked around under the red cedar. Doves came closer. A squirrel with a green pecan appeared to be thinking about hiding it in the trash can. During one of the brief periods of sun, a red spotted purple basked on the mulch beside the birdbath.
A female goldfinch got a dring from the hummer feeder but the hummers themselves turned up their beaks. So K took it down to clean. It does not pay to put very much juice in - better it goes dry than funky. The red spotted purple laid eggs on cherry leaves. An orange butterfly (monarch?) passed through quickly. A duskywing fed on the rosemary. Finally by mid afternoon the sky seemed ready to stay clear.
