I nearly melted while picking figs. After that I headed for the water, and saw a damselfly that looked like a male blue-fronted dancer resting on the concrete. The water was full of goose feathers and June beetles. I also rescued a cricket and a grasshopper.
There were lots of busy wasps and dragonflies and sidewalk tiger beetles. The chaste tree looked like it could bloom any time. Crows set up a fuss. A hummer came to the fresh feeder. A mockingbird called from the hackberry and then four birds moved off West into the pines.
A Carolina saddlebage patrolled the patio as we ate lunch. Blue dashers occupied every vertical perch. The black skipper returned to the mint as did a pearl crescent butterfly. Around 2pm, I saw a widow skimmer.
