Hot!

It got up over 80°F, 83° according to the National Weather Service, which broke the record set in 2002.  Paperwhites and the canna bloomed.  Wasps zipped through the air but I didn't see any other insects.  The fungus seemed a little bigger and a little browner.  Groundsel (saltbush) fluff was everywhere. 

I sat on the dock bench for a while.  Three hoodies dived for fish.  They spooked as they were getting closer to me.  After I got up to leave, I glimpsed the kingfisher, but he noticed me too.
