When I brought up a stack of the Christmas photo albums I saw my Dove friend on the rail.
I laid my albums down and said, "Hello." I have been so involved with my decorating I have not spent very much time with my Avian friends.
Ten minutes of Dove time and I was relaxed and full of joyful energy.
She went on down to the ground for some seed. I went down for the rest of the photo albums. The Doves are another bird I study and celebrate in December. I shall get some more frames for December Birds. The cold front came in over night. I am pleased to have inside activity.
Think I will fix a pot of black bean chili for supper.
Last night, while it was still warm, my husband was cleaning the ponds. I heard him call out, "Geese, geese, geese."
I dropped what I was doing and ran out to the front yard. Yes, Snow Geese, high in the sky. Snow Geese migrating. I could see their v, I could hear their call.
The moon was at second quarter and the clouds were just starting to come in. I saw the snow geese in the moon light.
I know for sure Winter is on the way.

Turtle doves are one of my favourite birds ~ we were so fortunate this past summer to have them nest above one of our arbours and woke each morning to their gentle cooing.
Hi Deb,
You were fortunate to have Turtle Doves nesting! They are lovely.
The "coo" of the Dove, for me, is the voice of the Angles.
Doves have a wealth of lore surrounding them! For today I am thinking of my Dove friends as, "Angles of Peace".
May the Peace that passes all understanding be with you and yours,
Love,
~Q~
(that could be a Christmas card! humm......)
