I woke up to high wind but a fairly light rain. A couple of mallards paddled by on the swollen creek. Three egrets paused where the water met the grass above the bulkhead across the creek. Others waited by the dam outfall. Geese and more egrets appeared. Cardinals came looking for breakfast along with a dove. The only damage, so far, was the gangway to the dock shifted off its mooring and might float away. The bench on the West of the house blew over.
I saw a hungry bumblebee headed for the rosemary. All the spiders disappeared except one cobweb spider huddled over her eggs in the corner of a window. The seed eaters made little forays to the feeder which I had tucked into an alcove. They also chowed down on berries. Squirrels were out too. The sun came out after 3pm and the sky was clear by 4pm. But the wind didn't stop and the water didn't begin to drop till 5pm.
