I found a snakeberry in the grass. They used to be everywhere but I think the cinquefoil choked them out. Threadwaisted wasps were still obsessed with the mountain mint.
A variety of dragonflies perched around the yard. Blue dashers were the most numerous. I also saw slaty skimmers. One skimmer was very tattered. A blue dasher teamed up with the Argiope to bar the path between the rue and the hibiscus. A Halloween pennant perched on the highest pine candle.
A heron took possession of the lake. A yellow crowned night heron hunted crabs along the water's edge.
After dark, clouds rubbed against each other and lit the sky in flashes. The moon was swallowed up a cloud but Jupiter was bright in the Southeast. Then it rained at last.
