One of my favorite signs of spring arrived this week.
The cats' twitching tails and craned necks alerted me to the swallows' arrival.
For the past few years, they've built nests between the upstairs window trim and overhang. They raise their young and spend the summer months hunting insects. Then, in late summer, they leave for their journey south.
I'm always amazed and delighted that they find their way back and choose to spend the summer with us.

I was thinking the other day about the swallows, we have been keeping the barn locked up this winter, it will be hard on our swallows if we continue this plan! ;/
ReplyDeleteYou'll just have to build places for them to nest. ;-)
