Cooler

A big oak limb dropped during the storm.  The yellow cat stopped briefly at breakfast.   A dragonfly used one of the perches.  Bring out of practice identifying dragonflies, I checked and found it was a great blue skimmer.  I was glad to see dragonflies but not the small biters that attracted them.  

At lunch, I saw a mockingbird, flashing as usual.  There were bluebirds but they got away without posing.  When I went out in the afternoon, a honeybee was harvesting milkweed.  One or more female hummers had a good drink.  Native bees tackled the tiny sunflower florets as though they were eating corn on the cob.
