The Wordsmith's Forge

Illinois: if you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.  I went out to dig up a mushroom.  The weather was mild and mizzling.  I figured I'd walk down to the septic garden.  And then it started raining much more briskly, so I got rather wet.  :/ 

Birdfeeder is more active today, with house finches and a cardinal.  I think they don't want to forage in the rain, so they just sit on the feeders under the leaves and eat.
