No complains here on the high temperature today of 76f! Though you might hear me grumbling about the no rain. However a fortunate few got some showers. Continuing on at the creek. Indeed some great butterflies and moths flittered around at the creek on the 8th! I also saw Cloudless Sulphurs, Little Yellows and other…
