Hot!

It was a beautiful summer day in February.  My car thermometer showed 78°F.  I was away and busy and missed everything after breakfast.  As I drove home, I could see a huge red sun setting behind me and coloring cauliflower cumulus on the Northern horizon.  The rest of the sky was clear except for some streaks in the South.  But around 7pm the wind came up, the temperature plunged, and the rain slammed the windows.

During breakfast, I saw Carolina wrens, white throated sparrows, the yellow rumped warbler, and the female red bellied woodpecker.  The birds got off to a slow start, maybe because it was so warm.
