Needed rain

Blue dasher dragonflies were up early.  A great blue heron lurked below the dam.  A volunteer portulaca cam up by the miniature rose.  A black swallowtail took an interest in the rue.  Hummers nearly drank their feeder dry.  The blue jay won today. 

The day was hazy with passing clouds, but plenty of sun.  A saddlebags was back atop the pine.  A hawk shot across the yard.  Apparently it had been hanging out in the hackberry.

The clouds did not begin to gather till well after 4pm and then the rain began after 5pm. It was never very heavy, but it was still falling as long as I could see.  Fireflies did venture out, but not moths.
