The first bird, and the last, of the day was the pileated woodpecker. A frazzled downy woodpecker followed her on the suet. Bluebirds soon arrived. I also saw a blue jay, a mockingbird, and a brown headed nuthatch.
The roses were bowed by the rain. I saw the first hibiscus sprout. Wild cherries and money pods were filling out. Wasps feasted on the rue. I startled a couple of skinks.
The sight of 87° on the thermometer persuaded me to try wading in the pool. I believe I could have worn a swimsuit and gone all the way in. Instead, I rescued a honeybee and a couple of wasps.
A great blue heron surveyed the creek from atop one of the dock posts.
