Blueberries

The day was sunny but, thankfully, the temperature moderated and stopped at a normal summer mid-80s.  I had back-to-back meetings and didn't get outdoors till 6pm.  A skink scampered across the step.  I went for a swim  and rescued a spider, a snail, and a couple of beetles.  There was a lot of tree detritus in the water but the wind wasn't noticeable.  After I got out, I picked a pint of blueberries.  Some were as big as cherries from all the rain.  A couple of nuthatches and some cardinals came for seeds while I ate supper.   The solstice moment happened at 10:42pm when there was no Sol in the sky.
