Afternoon thundershower

I put fresh hummer juice out in the feeder that is least affected by rain.  After lunch and before the rain, I startled a beautiful green female (or possibly teneral male) pondhawk that I only saw as it flew away.  Buds on the butterfly milkweed were getting orange.  I saw no sign or eggs or caterpillars though.  The rain was enough to wet everything, but not much more.  Afterward, the hummer returned.  While swimming, I noticed a mother spider clutching an egg pearl and trying to stay out of the water on the top step of the ladder.  A mosquito pestered me for a while but I think I may have gotten it.
