Your alleged alliteration is an alluringly appropriate allegory for the bee’s activity (I liked it).

Hi Mary,
Yes is was a spectacular storm! I love a good thunderstorm so long as I’m not on the top of a mountain above treeline… If you’re looking for another rain gauge, I’d recommend one of these: http://www.storesonline.com/site/453784/product/RG-200 The work very well though they are “manual”.

Cheers,
John

John, thanks for doing this weather blog, Our rain gauge hasn’t been functioning for awhile and I can always check the blog and get a good estimate of how much it’s rained here. we sat outside on our porch watching the storm roll through. It was pretty spectacular.

Great shot John. Yellow-bellies are certainly busy birds, akin to all of their woodpecker cousins; I love watching them, although I seldom have the chance. I would like to suggest (gently, re Allen, above) that sapsuckers – quite a misnomer – actually don’t think about what they are doing – this is a specific instinctual trait peculiar to them, which they could no more NOT do than do, over and over. That it works for them ensures the survival of the species. Would that we humans were so simply motivated!

Good point Alan–hadn’t really thought of it that way…
