Morning rain

For a change, it rained after breakfast.  Neither birds nor bugs put in an appearance before that. Too much of the rest of the day was spent on Zoom. 

The sun shone for the middle of the day.  A buckeye joined the wasps and bees on the mountain mint.  A monarch flitted around.  From the water I could see a second monarch caterpillar on the milkweed by the beautyberry.  I moved the first caterpillar to the butterfly milkweed.  I may move the second one tomorrow.  I attempted to rescue a fiery skipper but it was a goner.
