The rain stopped before I got up but a bucket I'd left outside was brimful of water. Birds were quite hungry after yesterday. A brown headed nuthatch didn't like the soggy seeds. The tailless cardinal was back. I think the floating dock broke. The two Argiope spiders survived and worked on rebuilding their webs. A fiery skipper flitted among the morning glory flowers. The chrysalis was still in place but every caterpillar had disappeared. (So had all the milkweed leaves but there were still pods to gnaw, so I'm hopeful that the monarchs went off to pupate rather than starving.) Sunlight leaked through the cloud cover for a few moments at midday.
