Warmer

Our only effects from Hurricane Irma seemed to be a rise in temperature and humidity.  A few sprinkles caught me in the pool. later the sky cleared a bit and there was some sun.  After dark a wet mist closed in. 

The spiders were in the same places today.  The Araneus trifolium outside my window was pink!  The Argiope aurantia in K's window was still between the screen and the glass.  A black swallowtail flitted between the parsley and the rue.  A dead Argiope lay on the patio.  I wonder if it was blown into a wall by the wind the day the marsh spiders disappeared?  A wasp hunted something in the morning glory vines. 

A couple of Carolina wrens hunted under the rosemary.  Titmice and the regulars came for seeds.  There were still hummers and one had his first red feather. 

A yellow crowned night heron hunted in the spartina, successfully I think.
