It is Mother’s Day and we are out for a swamp walk. Conservation areas and refuges dot a long, wet section of the Hudson Valley and provide perfect habitat for all sorts of birds. Cool air and a warm sun make for perfect trekking weather. We find a short meadow trail with nearly no foot traffic and a nice smattering of birds. The day is young so we try two other wooded areas but parking lots are full and there is way too much foot traffic. We are still supposed to be social distancing after all. We head back home with the plan to try the other trails on a weekday hoping to have a little more peaceful stroll.
The Day includes calls from both boys and breakfast by Kent. Actually, breakfast and dinner by Kent. We discover a local Greek place and check out the menu. We know exactly what we want. It is to be carry out of course. Except, they are closed! Kent gets roped into another meal.
