Saturday . . .

If it wasn't for Grandpa she probably would have walked right through the mud and she probably would not have ventured close enough to pet the cows.  She liked the sheep best . . . "because they didn't stink like the pigs." . . . and informed us that, . . . "the cows were girl cows because they had earrings on."  She makes everything special . . . and somehow always convinces Grandpa to stop for ice cream.  What a great start to a long weekend. 

Isn't she lovely?

After I painted my chair I noticed all of these sticks next to it. It has been a couple of years since we have a dove nest under our patio - so I was excited when I looked up and saw. . . . .
. . . this. We named her Delila - I always have to name everything. She is so lovely and fun to watch.
She keeps a close eye on Sadie. I will have to keep a close eye on the Sadie and my cats once the eggs hatch and the babies start to venture out.

"When I learn something new - and it happens every day - I feel a little more at home in this universe, a little more comfortable in the nest."
