Wednesday, May 6, 1964 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

May 6, 1964
Wednesday, beautiful, clear day, 70.  David, Clifton and I went to Cobleskill in am.  David and Ronnie Schemerhorn worked for Earl in pm.  Clifton worked on garage door.  Saw first barn swallows.
Comment: Another beautiful day on the hill. Barn swallows are amazing fliers and I always loved watching them....here is what I said about them in one of my Songpoemstories: 


"Swallows from the barn would swoop and dive to dine in flight
Their slate-blue wings would flash and gleam with flicking, glinting lights."


Here are swallows drinking on-the-wing. I saw a video of one, while roosting during rain, catch individual rain drops.....
