Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
Since this is Friday the 13th, I thought I'd do a little post on birds and superstitions.
I have been working on a fact-based ghost story about the Celery Farm (once called Wolf Swamp) and the Fell House, but it probably won't be ready for the light of day for quite a while.
In the meantime, I found this post about birds and bad luck on snopes.com, and I found it informative — even if they missed the reason why the American Robin was flying into the window. I mean, who knew about Lucille Ball?
Link is here.
