Half the time I expected rain and then the sun would reappear. There never was any rain. But there were surprises. A house wren fledged. Titmice visited the feeder along with the usual birds, including one very crestfallen cardinal. A brown thrasher enjoyed cherries.
And the hummers appeared to include one naive bird that tried every red flower including a tight hibiscus bud and a wilted gladiolus. An egret monitored the dam outfall.
A giant swallowtail thoroughly egged the rue. I also saw black and tiger swallowtails. There were dragonflies, but not a profusion. A wide variety of wasps and a honeybee enjoyed the mint. I saw just one skink. After dark, a spider built an orb over the window.
