The peppers were getting ripe I moved some potted plants in preparation for the storm. I suppose all the flowers will be shredded. A new variety popped up from the fairy garden seeds. I sneaked in a swim just before the storm arrived - nothing but brown scarab beetles. Oh, and a mama spider rafting on a curled leaf.
A female hummer and a male came separately to their feeder.. As the rain began, a house wren poked around but didn't find anything satisfying. The brown thrashers visited and one went to work on the suet. A squirrel sat on the feeder and washed itself. Birds ate the wild cherries. A female bluebird sampled the suet and then a catbird did the same.
As the light failed fireflies came swirling into the wind. Around 8pm my phone let out a screech and said to hide from a tornado that was on its way but, fortunately, nothing happened. Those winds were still howling as I typed this.
