A cardinal started nibbling on beautyberries. His slightly orange crimson was not harmoneous with the fuchsia berries. I noticed that the dog apparently cannot roll over on his back.
I tackled the mess in the pool though the water temperature had dropped considerably. It was mostly vegetation but I saved a few wasps, crickets, beetles, and a honeybee. A little frog that was hiding under the leaves in the skimmer hopped frantically away, bumping into things. A red spotted purple fluttered over the water. I got so cold after the pool was in shade that I gave up.
Afterward, as I dripped and tried to warm up in the sun, a hummer flew right up to me and glared from about six inches away. It had a few red feathers on its throat. I concluded that the sugar water must have gone bad. I wondered if the hummer had just arrived, helped along by Fiona's winds.
