Afterward they all hung out on the porch just to watch the grass grow. For additional amusement, there were the chickens, recently released from their run and pecking about with something like glee. And the swallows darting and diving through the lambent air, devouring insects and furbishing elaborate mud nests under the eaves. It was a joy, they conceded, to look upon such vernal satisfactions.
