The wavy clouds left or flattened out by the time the sun set and it colored up tonight. Less wind this evening, more bugs. I picked some currants for the friendly young rooster and fed them to him, and gave him some ear and wattle rubs. A dragonfly was flying around doing whatever it is they do. No sea monsters seen. The brown bats showed up to eat some of the bugs. A yellow warbler did some singing. The stars and planets appeared in the sky.
