Moments of spring
April 6, 2020 by Katelyn -
It’s been another crazy busy day here at the chimps’ (and bovines’) home, but it was a gift to us all to have our first warm, spring day. And as if on cue, the swallows returned from their wintering grounds en masse, immediately taking to swooping the property, chittering loudly and staking out the nesting boxes, getting straight to work. One of our returning bluebird pairs also returned today which was so exciting to see.
Dear, beautiful Annie soaking up the morning sun from the raceway (with wonderful Missy in the background):
I hope you are all getting moments in the sun, be they literal or figurative, and taking good care of yourselves. May you rest easy tonight with visions of sunshiney Annie in your head. 🙂 I’m going to go and eat my lunch…er, linner (?) now! I totally forgot! Goodnight, all!

That;s great you have nesting boxes. I love swallows.
Oh, Katelyn, when things run normally, I too often have “linner”.
You’re so lucky to have the bluebirds! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.
Glad the sun is finally shining on you all.
Lol, the first time I’ve never heard “can we have class outside today?” 😛
(2 from my Lit class were outside, I was jealous).
Annie look so very serious, she must be thinking about the springtime adventures she’ll be sharing with Missy.
Annie, it seems, always has a serious expression….like she’s thinking the deepest thoughts
I think we all needed refreshing scenes as in these pictures. Thank you Katelyn.
Loved the bluebird pictures, an uplifting way to start my day. Thanks
We always mark our calendar when the first swallows arrive in the spring. And it was yesterday! It was the same day as you all! Very cool.
