A blue dasher tried out one of the big bamboo poles as a perch. A tiger swallowtail floated between trees. The goldfinches returned. A blue jay watched me put out barkbutter balls and wasted no time in getting a share. A mockingbird heard about it and wanted some too. Then a Carolina wren took one but I think it dropped it. The birds made me think of kids following the ice cream truck. I filled a vase with drooping gladiolus. It was hot but pleasant outside with a breeze, passing clouds, and low humidity. K hung fresh sugar water but I didn't see any hummers. Today was officially the Solstice but the next couple of days look to be the same length.
