The high temperature for the day was 69°F. We had some rain earlier, but the day ended with sun and light clouds. I spread a towel on the deck chair and spent some time in the breeze.
Autumn crickets sound different from summer crickets, the katydids have gone, and the blue jays are getting loud. It's nice to have the blue jays back. When West Nile disease first swept through here about 20 years ago it was very tough on the birds, especially crows and blue jays. The crows came back first, and I have seen some blue jays over the past few years, but this year is the first time since then that they really seem to have built back their population. It's good to hear them again.
