Well, we are back to work at the grind and finally actually mowed the lawn last night,
at least most of the tallest grass.
Here is a pic of a couple of swallows from 2006. They line up on the
power lines behind our house, chattering and preening, then lunging, swirling in
air currents and making all kinds of noises.
They have nests in our back shed.
They have had it rough since they got back
since we have had spells too cold for bugs.
One swallow swirled completely around my head 360 degrees.
I think they fly best in the spring most daring, most acrobatic.
They looked healthier this year.
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteSadly our resident swallows from the theater roof did not get back this year.
We are very sad about this.
Love,
Herrad
Thanks Herrad for stopping by. I hope your swallows found a home somewhere. Last year ours were sickly. This year a few more. We have a shed and some old barns where they have been nesting for many years. Often one elder swallow I believe will scope out the homestead and then go back to the Lake Champlain coast and get his family. They get mad when we cover the window and they pout until Fred takes off the window we keep up in the winter. Then, zip into their old nests to start cleaning. I hope yours return someday. Analyze whether they died off or something changed at the church. Or better bugs somewhere else.Love, Mary
