Today at Iten's Acres: 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.
