Dreary

The morning started fair and chilly with scattered clouds.  But there was no wildlife to speak of, just crows and chickadees and Canada geese.  A big flock of small birds flew past toward the West.  They seemed to be spaced too far apart to be starlings, so I guessed a mixed flock of blackbirds.  By lunch, the sky was overcast and the day grew steadily darker. Rain began before 4pm and was still falling at 9pm.  I hate days that just get darker as they wear on, like depression made manifest.
