Probably not yet formed up when you saw them.
I was a bit late off the mark and they were flying strung out astern, so I must have missed the first. They do usually travel as a trio, for sure

Scorching day today, so after visiting my 'butterfly hot-spot' (see report elsewhere) I went into the nearby village church, where it's always nice and cool, to look at the annual "Art & Flowers" show. There I found my chum the ex-Mayor of Boston and we had a nice long chat. So that was nice...

^ Drove down to Vallejo to help daughter pack up her Pirate Day Festival exhibit just opposite Mare Island on the Napa River waterfront; the car exterior temp gauge registering 110!! Which means the black asphalt is even hotter( Severely testing my new cheap Korean tyres) More of same expected today so all yard chores 2 B sorted by 0900, watering all patio plants and planterbox crops.

Complain, complain, complain ... all ya'll do is complain ... if it's not the rain, it's the heat.

Give thanks with a grateful heart aren't we all suppose to be in the top 10% of the population if we have an internet connection and a LCD TV and a laptop or a PC and of course running water and indoor plumbing?

Yep It's hot here today too, but the am is all mine till I have to turn on the AC at 1pm till midnight.

Cheers folks and don't complain so much remember your in the top ten (10) percent
