Morning was quite windy and mostly sunny. After lunch, hungry insects came to the mountain mint. A bumblebee, a great black wasp, and a myriad of small hymenoptera sipped all around the remaining flowers. A gray hairstreak refused to be put off by the wasps. A checkered skipper showed up, then a fiery skipper. A black swallowtail egged the rue.
Young skinks rushed around the patio. Hummers continued to pack on the calories. Nuthatches came while I was in the water. I think they were white breasted, but couldn't be sure because they were silhouettes.. Meanwhile I evicted another very persistent green frog. And I got inside just in time before the rain started. It came down hard for maybe ten minutes. Sigh.
