Haikai

late spring arthropods not as things should be many absentees - swallows still absent butterflies the odd one today a wood brown - azure springtime sky should be full of life... empty no i'm going blind - house sparrows chirping heard but cannot be seen pond water warming - the common garden spider A diadematus absent could be it is late
