Honeybees

Two squirrels were flirting and they scared a third who might have been too young to know what was going on.  Bluebirds just wanted breakfast.

I wasted the sunny morning inside and when I finally got out, clouds were taking over and it was very gusty.  Between the wind and the lack of sun, I felt chilly even though the temperature was higher outdoors.  Honeybees worked on the rue.  I wonder how that honey will taste?  Lots of white clover flowered in the lawn which I attribute to honeybees stimulating the plants.

A blue jay tried to sneak past me.  A pair of Canada geese brought their five little goslings to eat our grass.  One gosling kept sitting down and another appeared to be pecking at it, except that a gosling's bill couldn't do much damage.  Anyway, a parent goose put a stop to it. 

An opportunistic crow hung around on the dock pilings.  Maybe that's why the geese decided to leave.  The wind blew the water out of the Lynnhaven tributaries.  Rain started in the late afternoon and the temperature dropped thirteen degrees over the course of the afternoon.  The downhill weather resulted from yet another kink in the jet stream drawing down a polar vortex.  The real cold was supposed to stay North of us but we got the wind.
