When I woke up there were clouds all over the sky but they cleared off quickly leaving intense blue. It was cool and breezy on the front patio where I sat to watch the bluebirds. The jasmine flowers smelled heavenly. Then a hawk swooped into the pecan.
Wasps and orange butterflies were out in the sun in the back yard. Geese led their goslings along the creek. A solitary sandpiper landed on the dock but was so fidgety, I couldn't catch up. I saw a blue jay in the cherry.
As I returned from the library, I saw the bluebird pick up a worm off the sidewalk. Bumblebees worked on the wild indigo. A female hummer visited the feeder in back. And later while I ate supper, so did a female goldfinch.
A family of mallards headed downstream while a yellow crowned night heron stalked along the water's edge. The day never got as warm as I'd hoped, but it stayed clear to sunset.
