With all the outdoor items secured, we awaited the remnants of Hurricane Laura. A squirrel made off with an entire green pine cone. The hibiscus wasted at least nine blossoms on the blustery day. A blue jay checked out the menu.
After lunch the clouds looked very fierce but moved very fast as well. They alternated with sunshine. The wind did not deter the wasps or a buckeye. An adult skink had a regrown tail. A murder of crows gathered noisily, but I had no idea why. Hummers ignored it.
I found a third monarch chrysalis, this one dangling from the rose bush. There was rain around 4pm but it didn't accumulate to much. The sky was mostly clear by sunset as birds flew home and dragonflies sieved the air of gnats. Cicadas were very loud.
