Sticky and stormy

K squegeed the windows at breakfast.  Hummers were out but not much else.  An egret stood statue-like on a dock across the creek.  Bugs flew around, including a black swallowtail and a cloudless sulphur.  A yellow kneed wasp worked over the rosemary.  In the late morning rain passed through in waves with sun between.

A titmouse joined the lunch feeder crowd. A blue jay sailed across the yard to the oak.  The air was horribly humid.  Mushrooms popped up in the planter where we put the vines that were supposed to give us privacy. 

The waves of rain continued in the afternoon, evening, and night.  A heavy downpour struck a little before 4pm and flooded everywhere. I saw a great blue heron in the lake just off Witchduck Road.
