Unpredictable storms

 A squirrel had cherries for breakfast.  I wasted a lot of time trying to catch a dragonfly in flight.  A caterpillar appeared to be eating a strawberry plant.  Young titmice were apparently learning to use the feeder. 

The meteorologists were saying no chance of rain even as the heavens opened in a typical summer afternoon thunderstorm.  It was quickly followed by a second one thundercloud.  The vegetation got a good soaking and the humidity slid up past the descending temperature.  All the windows fogged over.  The region was still under a heat advisory but the storm cooled us down to the 80s.

Squirrels foraged in the wet vegetation and then had to clean themselves off.  A hummer looked at the mountain mint while titmice made a commotion near the hummer feeder.  Sunset glowed orange and briefly tinted the moon.
