Although sunny, the temperature was back down in the 70s. I think the breeze was from the North. Honeybees were drinking up the sticky rue nectar. I wonder how that honey will taste? A few wasps were also attracted to the rue, but they were more choosy than honeybees about the flowers. A little sweat bee prowled around the roses.
After I put out mealworms with barkbutter balls on top, bluebirds and blue jays flocked to the feeder dishes. The female bluebird got the upper dish this time. A Carolina wren cleaned up what dropped on the ground.
I gave the hibiscus sprouts a good soaking of neem oil. Peering through the construction mess across the creek, I was able to make out one turtle in the lake. The feral cat sat at the far end of the pool as though watching the construction.
