Ian's aftermath

The cloud cover was breaking up at breakfast, but despite shushing the humidity was at 95%.  It dropped as the temperature rose.  Titmice were distressed because the barkbutter was mush from the rain.  I think we got about three inches.  The tide was still running high.  It's amazing how much dust collected on the trees during our summer drought.  Along with berries and shredded leaves, there was a lot of dirt in the bottom of the pool.  I saw some insects swimming, but they were mostly on their own as I was busy cleaning.  I did rescue a lacewing and an assassin bug nymph, probably Zelus luridus.
