Last day of EDT

It was sunny in the morning, clouded over at lunch, then cleared a bit later.  The light breeze was cold.  Moonflowers and morning glories lingered through the day.  Honeybees took advantage and also tried a rose.  Yellow jackets jittered between but never settled on flowers.  The same with the yellow-brown flitters I thought were skippers yesterday.  A tiny mint-green butterfly or moth defeated my attempt to photograph it though it climbed on my finger.  An ailanthus webworm moth on the screen door was more cooperative.

Three mallard pairs slept on the dock.  Then a hermit thrush took an interest in the beauty berries!  Squirrels made out in the oak then played follow-the-leader across the yard.
