Day 239

August 27, 2021

A day to regroup

I went up to the rookery at noontime again today.  I wanted to get up earlier, but I got some other things completed first.  It was 88 degrees and 74% humidity.  Some clouds, but basically sunny and muggy and mosquitoey.  I started writing about how long it'd been since I'd seen a big bird up there and an adolescent blue heron flew right by me, 7 feet away.  He landed in the grasses in front.  I got out of the car to find him, but I didn't see him until he lifted off and flew across the pond.  Nice to see him, though.

Fall is knocking on the door.  

About 4 o'clock huge storm clouds arrived.  The music at Green River Festival was due to start then, and the skies opened up and there was a deluge.  

I did go searching for the rainbow, but I didn't want to enter into the festival traffic so I didn't wonder.  

My sweet house after the rain.
