A couple of brown thrashers appeared to be plotting in the cherry tree. Something got the crows into a hissy. A disheveled Carolina wren fussed at me from the back of the bench.
The all-day overcast rolled out of sight in the mid afternoon and the day became very pleasant. I saw several skinks enjoying the sun, including one that popped up out of a big crack in the pool patio, like a prairie dog checking for danger. It wasn't quite sure what to make of my head bobbing in the water eye-to-eye at the same level. I rescued a wasp and some beetles.
A horsefly was on the concrete by the door. It was on its back but I rolled it over to see what it was. I used hornet spray to blow it away.. A black swallowtail was energized by the sun to seek the proper plants for eggs. After the sun set, I saw fireflies again.
