Warm

A female squirrel that frequently forages around the birdbath is identifiable because her tail is whiter than other squirrels. Also, the fur on her underside is loose and orange, possibly stained by the pecans.  My guess about the loose look is a recent pregnancy.   Recently she showed up with a warble between her shoulders.  All in all, she had a rough summer.

I was at the UCN for a presentation and the street was flooded when I arrived.  The water had receded by the time I left and an osprey flew over the Hague.  The moon was a sharp crescent, waxing toward the first quarter.  It looked blurry on account of the haze that covered the sky all day.
