I measured the rainwater in a bucket at two inches for yesterday and overnight. The rain paused in the morning and there was even some blue sky. The goldfinch pair wanted their breakfast. I found one
Argiope spider but not the other two. Plants revived and I straightened some bamboo stakes. I propped up the sunflower that fell over days ago and soon the female goldfinch started pecking at its seeds. I doubt they were ripe yet. The male kept watch.
The mountain mint was covered with hungry insects including a
Macrosiagon dimidiata beetle. I also saw great golden digger wasps, scoliid wasps, sand wasps, leafcutter bees, bumblebees carpenter bees, and honeybees. In the pool, I rescued a mama spider with a big egg pearl and many brown May beetles. A rain shower drove me inside but the heavy rain waited till afternoon. It got very dark indoors and I heard thunder.
