All the windows were fogged although the temperature outside was as low as inside. The moon is waning gibbous and still visible in the early morning. Last night it was a big pumpkin in the east. The sky in blue, though clouds are condensing over the ocean (I think) and blowing Southwest. I refilled the hummingbird feeder and two of them were arguing over it early. When I went outside I startled goldfinches out of the sunflowers. A black swallowtail was oddly interested in the hibiscus.
Here's the new bunny yesterday afternoon, cropping the black medick. Clearly the rabbits are having two litters a summer here. The bush in the background is the bird-planted Japanese sakaki. It's location seems odd now that the oak is gone - I cannot decide whether to keep it. On the other hand, Wikipedia says it is sacred in the Shinto religion and I certainly don't want to upset any kami that may have taken up residence.
A wasp has discovered the hummingbird feeder and it actually chased off the hummer. I thought hummingbirds were fierce, but apparently not with species that have stingers. The sky has gone all blue, not a cloud in sight.
