Mid August

Many birds, including the swallows are getting ready for their long journey south. Right now, we can see them gathering and practicing their flying skills.



This is also the time of the year when we can start harvesting all kinds of fruits and berries. Not so many of us harvest any juniper berries but they can be used for spicing up all kinds of meat and also to make lemonade.



Even the birds that are not going as far as the swallows are also gathering in huge flocks.When they land to pick food they look like a huge mass of feathers and it is almost difficult to separate one from the other.
