There must have been more rain in the night because there were drips everywhere. Dragonflies reappeared, mostly blue dashers, and later some great blue skimmers I saw a little brown leafhopper on a mint leaf. A hummer visited and seemed to find the juice acceptable so I put off replacing it.
The gray overcast began to tear apart in the late morning on a wind from the East. The greasy titmouse argued with a Carolina wren over who got the seed feeder perch. Four squirrels played silly games with the post. By noon the sky was blue with wisps of cumulus.
I saw a yellow tiger swallowtail and an orange variegated fritillary. Wasps were busy with the rue. A 12 spotted skimmer darted around the treetops. Some of the parsley heads were going to seed. Late in the afternoon, the clouds congealed again and the air got very humid.
