The air was hot and humid and not very breezy. The hibiscus was still blooming. As I stepped outside, a skink scooted off. Apparently it had been resting in the shade of the house. There wasn't much in the water - a few beetles, one little mama spider, and a millipede riding a leaf. I spotted another infant Argiope, this one still making a fingerprint web. A widow skimmer perched but I didn't see any dragonflies on patrol overhead. I did glimpse some butterflies.
A crow and a Carolina wren came to eat, along with the regulars. Scruffy titmice that I suspect were molting fledglings got into everything. A mockingbird harvested cherries. A dark hummingbird visited its feeder but I think I spooked it. The milkweed was blooming again. The toadstools in the front yard looked about the same, maybe drier.
