Robin
There were more signs of spring this weekend, including this robin. Today also marked the return of the barn swallows. Since 2007, the barn swallows have arrived as early as April 22 and as late as April 28 — an impressively tight range.
A less fortunate sign of spring is this capacious front door that Herman, the muskrat, has dug for himself.
I am taking matters into my own hands. But somehow I doubt that Herman is particularly nervous.
We were saddened to hear this weekend of the death of Herb Schwartz, a great friend of my parents, here pictured with the wooden Indian in front of the Rhinebeck Smoke Shop.
