Good morning. 😴☕🚶‍♂️‍➡️

30 May 2025

I'm in a bit of a rush this morning, eager to get a walk in before the heat sets in. I almost skipped my usual 'good morning' post, but since coffee is non-negotiable, here I am. Oddly, coffee never tastes quite as good after a walk—maybe because I go straight for ice water first, and by the time I get to the coffee, I barely finish it. After my walk and a quick clean-up, I have the rare task of venturing out among other people—an adventure in itself. Today’s grand excursion? A trip to the pharmacy ⚕️. Hard to believe I fit this much excitement into one day.

Parenting 101: When the kids are noisy, feed them snacks.  

Barn swallows, like the ones seen here at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, are voracious insectivores. Not only that, they are "aerial insectivores," meaning that they eat flying insects caught in the air!

Baby #BarnSwallows always make me smile. The barn swallow way of nesting has always fascinated me. It can take over a thousand trips to a mud bank to collect the material to build the nest. They carry mouthfuls of plant fiber laden mud to suitable locations and literally plaster it onto vertical surfaces. Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me. “Where there is a will, there is a way” https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtBLyqAxr8/?igshid=1xw6zp762neh

Every Xmas I do another train car for my nephews. A different animal each time. I think I’ve done 12 train cars now in this fun little series. Here is a bunch of Barn Swallows. #jeremyhush #barnswallows #swallows (at The Convent Philly)
