Unseasonably cool temperatures and low humidity continued this week, resulting in limited use of AC. The lawn has recovered somewhat thanks to this week’s drenching rains. Bird activity at the feeders now consists primarily of American Goldfinches and House Finches. Katydids have begun their nighttime choruses.
