The goldfinches came early, and two pairs showed up. They had to settle who got first access to the sunflower. I think it was the newcomers, but couldn't be sure. Eventually all four settled on the plant. A Carolina wren fussed at me for being too close. A mockingbird chased off some crows.
Fortunately, I swam in the morning and rescued a bumblebee, a honeybee, and more beetles. Drowned bees were plentiful. I picked some more blueberries but they weren't as fat as those right after a rain. As I dried out, a skink ambled across the patio. In the afternoon, the thermometer read 100° and then after a thunderstorm it dropped to 79°. A second thunderstorm blew through in the evening.
