Questions

Sometimes I feel I live 2 separate lives.
There's my home life and everything included in my time there. And there's my work life--which, especially in summertime, keeps me busy enough away from my home, that I feel a little disconnected from it, and everything going on around it.
This is especially frustrating when I find bits and pieces of goings on that I can't figure out. I see a little now....a little later. And the next day, it's the same thing. A little more, but so much of what went on in the middle, I missed. It feels like a fill-in-the-blank story, with a write-your-own ending. I'm left with questions.


There are odd marks around the pond. I never see anything make these marks, but there are quite a few.
Some are quite large! Pond monsters?

They weren't here before--now they are!
Daytime? Nighttime? Who knows! (I have a guess, but feel free to help out)


And where'd this little barn swallow come from?

My guess is a nest in the barn, but he can't seem to fly, or doesn't feel confident enough to show-off for me. Here he sits on a fence. How'd he get here?
I'm close enough to touch him. He just looks at me as I approach. Is he ok? Is no one concerned about him? (Except me.)
I took this picture yesterday. Today, he's gone. Did someone eat him?


And this NOISY nest. You'd think that with such a demanding, squawking, chirping creature growing inside it, I'd at least see SOMETHING?

A parent feeding it....the top of a head? (Oh yeah, that was probably while I was at work)

And the new hanging platform feeder we put up this weekend-- someone's FOUND it! The food was almost gone today! Who's sitting in the woods feeling very satisfied? Because the food was there yesterday, and now it's not!
