Feeding the swallows again. Still no swallows. Of
course, I just cut the front today, maybe they'll be out back tomorrow.
I should just go and look in Dennis' shed to see if they're in there
building nests. There were some bluebirds today. They like the bug
feast engendered by mowing as well, but they are not as bold as the
swallows. To watch them for awhile, I have to
turn off the mower and just sit. The bluebirds then do their hunting
in the mowed areas. Lovely creatures. And, the goldfinch have bloomed
as well by the way.
I like to stop right at the bend in the driveway
where it winds around the old red maple and goes straight up to the
house. On the left is the dogwood gloriously white. On the right is a
redbud living up to its name. In the middle, up by the house, is a deep
scarlet crab apple. It's a lovely view.
Sadly, I must restart the
mower and go back to "work." I do, however, sit there for awhile
enjoying the beauty of the trees and the loveliness of the bluebirds and
goldfinch flitting about. Oh, did I mention the flock of robins
enjoying the acres today. They're are so "common," I often overlook
their beauty.
It's a pity that we miss so much just because we don't take the time to stop and observe.
