A rain shower freckled the pavement at breakfast. Later I got in the pool and rescued a mama spider. A blue dasher guarded us as we ate lunch outside but the sun drove us back indoors.
Four crows tried to get at the rain-sodden, sun baked, barkbutter mush
in the feeder. I hustled some fresh barkbutter balls out but they
didn't come back. Blue jays, however, were enthusiastic.
A leafcutter bee collected so much milkweed pollen, it almost doubled in size. It was hassled by a syrphid fly but refused to budge. A bumblebee and a scoliid wasp found the first flowers on the mountain mint.
