Yellow daylilies bloomed beside the yellow iris. Yellow rosebuds poked
above the yellow rue. Even the parsley flowers looked yellow. Unfortunately the rain beat the yellow coreopsis
out of sight. The pink evening primrose revived from the rain. Cabbage whites flitted around but I didn't see any other butterflies.
The overnight rain overflowed the ant moat and the dish feeders. Today's early bird was a female bluebird after seeds. Then a brown thrasher arrived. Pretty soon another joined it. I assumed they were mates. When the rain stopped, I put a few barkbutter balls on the ground.
A mockingbird eventually showed up and flashed at the barkbutter balls. The male cardinal was a very determined lover, more successful on
terra firma than the seed feeder perch. Late in the day, I saw a brown headed nuthatch.
