Rain at last!

A couple of titmice came for breakfast at the sunflower cafe.  Soon the mountain mint was covered with bees and wasps. A Halloween pennant returned to the dead twig on the hackberry.

Our thermometer claimed 102°F at noon.  The humidity was low and it was like breathing the air when you open the oven door.  The male widow skimmer was back on the perch they like. Wasps found the garden mint. 

Three buzzards circled over the creek in the late afternoon.  A saddlebags dragonfly circled quite low over us.  Bees and wasps were still hard at work. 

The rainstorm "popped up" after sundown, complete with thunder and lightning.  Waves of rain kept coming.
