Rambunctious titmice scared off a hummer and a wren. A very persistent squirrel was determined to get into the feeder. A blue jay wanted mealworms. The digger wasp was back and so was the buckeye butterfly.
A humongous roach was floating in the water, dead fortunately. It looked like one f those strange creatures from the Burgess Shale. A spider built a web across a corner of the pool. I rescued a mama spider and a few of her minute offspring that jumped ship.
Dragonflies held their own despite the wind. The herbs - rue, mint, parsley, rosemary - attracted a host of bees wasps, flies, and other insects. I saw a sharpshooter land on a morning glory leaf.
A male towhee flew across the yard and then popped out from under the azaleas.
