Hot

The overcast blew out to sea.  At breakfast, the creek was so still, the tree litter wasn't even moving.  Bluebirds came calling, looking for bark butter balls.  The red bellied woodpecker wanted suet.   A squirrel gathered leaves for nesting.

At lunch, we were joined by the brown thrasher who wanted suet.  Afterward, lake turtles basked on the logs.  A male bluebird perched on a piling.

Toward evening, a blue jay tried to feed on the suet.  It was even more awkward than the brown thrasher.  Fluffy cumulus tinted peach sailed East.
