They’re still here, our barn swallows. Every day I look up and sigh with relief. I know the day will come soon when they will be gone. And then we wait. Until they come home again in spring.

Following a day of only rain, today the sun is out briefly and the currants caught it. A welcome relief in this odd season.

That time of year. The path covered in elderflower snow. A tree completely full with blossoms. The gift of early summer.

A little bit of spring grass. They’re happy. It will run out in a few days and then it’s back to hay. But for now they’re happy. Spring grass before lambing. There’s a first time for everything. #springgrass #dutchspotted #zwartbles #denandel
