Hummingbird revue is probably done for the year -- azalea is dropping flowers and even the bumblebees are scarce. We've seen hummers in the crab-apple, but that's further out and higher up, and a much larger expanse of flowers that we can't see from inside. Also, catbird hasn't been hanging out on the inside of the bush this morning. Hummers may return when the hostas bloom, but that isn't as concentrated a lure.

Did get out for my full neighborhood walk, including a meet-up with Ms. Sasha. I told her I hadn't expected her, but she doesn't seem to mind damp fur. So that's a win.
