Pet Channel

It rained last night and the air is still heavy with mist: water drops from tiny bright green leaves and branches. It covers every surface like a glossy sheet. The birds are silent. The delinquent squirrels who are usually hard at work by this time thieving my bulbs and prying open bird feeders are nowhere to be seen. I did spy a lone beetle on the deck rail outside my kitchen, but he seemed a bit cranky so I didn't attempt to commune with him.
