The weather is building toward a record high heat tomorrow, and was warm and sunny this afternoon, after a cloudy morning. The flame azalea is blooming - such a gorgeous color.
And the swallows are everywhere, chattering and swooping and in general carrying-on. They perch in pairs - this pair is on the gutter of our porch roof, enjoying some of the sun, before they start that nest- and family- building.

At least, that's what I think they're doing! This pair got all tangled up and fell to the ground, and flapped around there for a while before finally flying away. Amy couldn't figure out what to do - she went over to them and watched avidly, but didn't make her move until too late.

So she's a little miffed now, but resigned to relax in the sun.
