Morning rain didn't last. Birds ignored it to reach the suet. A Carolina wren alternated suet and sunflower seeds. As usual, a brown thrasher preferred to clean up what fell.
The sun was out by lunch time, driving up the temperature. Wasps and hover flies enjoyed the mountain mint. A great blue skimmer dragonfly kept watch outside my window and later a blue dasher chose the perch by the pool. I caught a glimpse of a damselfly. The sky was intensely blue with fluffy clouds. A yellow kneed wasp nibbled on the bench.
The leatherleaf clematis Clematis pitcheri continued to bloom on the front porch but the flowers were more white than purple. The crocosima was spectacular. And the chaste tree was blooming already. Goslings by the shoreline were half grown and beginning to get adult colors. Fireflies blinked while the geese grazed.
