The Carolina wren was back for breakfast. When we got home, a widow skimmer zipped out of the way. Later I glimpsed a tiger swallowtail.The sky was white but there was sunshine.
I went out to swim about 3pm. The wasps and bees were still obsessed with the mountain mint. I wasn't in the water too long when the sky to the South got very dark and thunder growled. As the clouds gathered overhead, the twelve-spotted skimmers flew unusually low. They were very active, so I guess there were plenty of mosquitoes anticipating puddles.
The clouds were writhing so much I wondered about tornadoes. Still, no rain fell till around 4pm. But once begun, it kept on for the rest of the afternoon. While we waited, a hummer, chickadees, and the bald cardinal snatched supper.
