The crow perched on the railing and thought about the food in the hanging dishes. I think this was early for the hibiscus to bloom, and the plant was quite small so far this year - only two stalks instead of a half dozen and not very tall. I didn't see the flower until I was in the water. The usual beetles were swimming along with things I don't rescue. Something eating cherries dropped some in the water. The mockingbird I saw cherry picking was careful. A Carolina wren was only interested in barkbutter and mealworms. A brown headed nuthatch wanted seeds. A hummer disdained the sugarwater so I discarded it. I glimpsed butterflies and prince baskettail dragonflies. The milkweed had more buds. The noon sky was full of wispy patterns. A shower in the afternoon kept me inside.
