Our friend Mark has arrived today from Chicago on his way to the Cape. It is the beginning of the season of road trips and journeys. My husband will join him soon to go fishing for striped bass. My daughter is off in Wisconsin at a writer's workshop. My son will leave for California to see his girlfriend and I am preparing madly to be ready for my journey up to Deer Isle, Maine in two weeks. The wind is scattering us in all different directions. I think of the birds and their annual migrations; the freedom with which they pick up a breeze and take to the air.
This evening the cat birds were out in the early dusk chiding each other from wires to rooftops.
Cat birds are social creatures who like to imitate other birds and make a variety of sounds from singing to mewling like a cat. Or they could be Northern Mockingbirds who like to sing at night in chorus and jealously protect their territory by diving bombing your head.
It's Memorial Day weekend the unofficial beginning of summer, the air conditioners are in and summer solstice is just around the corner.
