Patchy overcast

I don't see much activity - titmice, the hummingbird, an occasional black swallowtail butterfly. There are buds on the hibiscus. The rabbit is still mowing the lawn for us. A few raindrops fell but nothing much. I guess overcast is discouraging to dragonflies? A raccoon visited last night, leaving muddy paw prints.

Well, there are two hummingbirds now and they do not share. One has taken up a post in the dogwood to keep an eye on the feeder. The other sneaks in, gets a few sips and is run off. Then the first comes back to refuel and mutters under its breath, "kut - kuh-ut - kutut," which I interpret to mean, "mine, all mine, that'll show 'im."

Ah, with evening came rain in earnest.
