Dreary

The rain stopped yesterday and I was outside for a short while but it was long enough to get bit up.  The tide was up in the grass again.  A Carolina wren had some suet.  I relocated one sack of spider eggs from the rose to the sakaki so it wouldn't get pruned.   I also moved the chrysalis to the feeder pole outside my window because the dead rue will probably be cut down.  I think the rue died of old age.  It must have been more than thirty years ago when I planted it and its an herb not a shrub.  The orchard spider was disturbed but its web was still intact.  

Purslane was still blooming around the front patio and the Carolina jessamine tentatively opened a few buds.  The lantana had quit blooming but spread all over the flower bed.  Peppers were ripening.  Today rain fell for much of the day but didn't amount to much.  A few birds ate seeds but there really wasn't much to see and nothing to photograph.  The tide continued to run high.
