It's another Weather Channel sort of Day

Well, it's raining again - hence the quick snap from the comfort of my living room sofa. Am headed out to a vow-renewal ceremony this evening - reception in the church garden - what outfit will look best with my Dollar Store rain poncho and rubber boots?

Still no birdie takers for the berries on my Cornus alternifolia - the birds are usually all over it - stripping it clean in under a day. Also, the Amelanchier has barely been touched. Smaller birds seem to be missing from the population - lots of robins, cardinals - but sparrows and larger starlings are all m.i.a. - very weird.
