Yesterdays clouds spread into overcast. The feeder attracted a titmouse in addition to the regulars. A dove rested beneath. and I glimpsed a wren in the rosemary.By lunch the clouds broke apart and allowed some sunshine. I rescued a bird grasshopper Schistocerca obscura that was in the water. It took off flying. Later a young skink needed fishing out. It warmed up on the patio, sides heaving. A squirrel got very close to the pool without noticing me and dashed off in a panic.
The day never got very warm. Cumulus clouds gave way to cirrus. When I got home from my meeting, I looked for more egg-covered azalea leaves, and found them. I removed the praying mantis egg case and discovered a caterpillar on the same branch. Egrets flew over, headed North for the night.
