The overcast day made the new red leaves seem even more vivid than usual, while the green old growth was subdued. As evening fell, I saw several small birds burrow into the plants one by one. The afternoon had been dry, but rain began falling again as the birds retreated to their nests, and now the dusk is full of dripping sounds. If tonight is like last night, the birds will need all that new foliage to help keep the rain off of them. Though we had no heavy downpours, the steady drizzle persisted all night, then ended with the morning twilight. This is likely to be the pattern for the next several days. I'm glad the bushes will be providing some cheerful color to enliven the gray week.
