The camera took a half day off this time. Grrrrr. Blue jays came for barkbutter balls. A hummer visited the fresh juice. A monarch and a black swallowtail flew around the patio. The monarch fed on the butterfly milkweed. The swallowtail egged the rue. The squirrel games continued and I counted eight of them following the leader that I presume was a female in heat. I rescued a young skink from the pool, along with many May beetles. A floating wheelbug was quite defunct. The temperature was 98 and the sun was blazing when not obscured by passing thunderheads. Around 4:30pm one of them broke open and spilled rain and lightning, and knocked the temperature down 15 degrees. It made me very glad K picked figs in the morning.
