Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

A little cooler
A morning dove was having a spa day at breakfast but I didn't see any other birds. The dredge clanked away. Seed parachutes from the milkweed were flying.
I rescued several spiders, one was red and one was a mama wolf with her babies. A palamedes swallowtail flew across the pool at lunch. A saddlebags dragonfly circled while a blue dasher perched. A hummer had a good lunch.
When I left to go to a meeting, an ominous black bar of cloud stretched across the Southern sky. Three hours later it passed overhead but only a few drops of rain fell.
In the late afternoon, a family of Carolina wrens discovered the mealworm dish. I'm pretty sure I counted four of them though I only got three at a time in front of the camera. They had to compete with a blue jay. The hummer paid quite a few visits to her feeder and also investigated the milkweed.
