Gray sky

Leaves dripped from rain overnight.  Hummers came for a drink. Titmice and the regulars wanted seeds. A downy woodpecker did too.  The cardinals were courting again.  The squirrel who developed a taste for mealworms was back.  I chased it away and put out some bark butter bits. Those mealworms are for birds.  I think another squirrel was digging up the sunflower seeds I planted.   We'll see.

As I was leaving, I saw the female bluebird fly to the nestbox.  The sun burned through the overcast and heated the day but the sky stayed gray.  Dragonflies enjoyed the humidity.  A pimento began to ripen. 

Something troubled the creek surface from below.  At dusk, there were patches of rose-tinted clouds.  Fireflies were out.
