Yesterday morning, the tree swallows returned - it was wonderful to see them arrive! As we sat with our morning coffee on the deck, on the first warm sunny morning of the year… the sky was suddenly filled with their amazing swallow flight! There was 20 or more in the air, swooping over the lake and the treetops, for about an hour, then they gradually disappeared leaving this pair already moving in to their last year’s home. Exciting times for both us and the birds! 05/17/20
I didn't see the tiny thread of the spider web until I got home, but it almost seems to be holding the leaf in place. I wonder if it kept it steady all winter long. 05/16/20
The beginnings of spring are always the most exciting. Even now we have to search a bit to find those very early signs of life emerging. 05/15/20
