I came home from a week away and found a visitor on my little patio. Can you see what is in my planter box . . . look closely . . . .
Everyday this week a pair of doves have been visiting. One sits in this same place for a while as the other perches on the railing and inspects the patio. A couple of times he flew at the sliding glass door. Did he see his own reflection in the window or what? Looks as if they are looking for a safe nesting place. Hubby asked me what I will do if they decide to use my patio for their new home. Have to think about that one, I would miss my morning outdoor breakfast retreats, but love seeing them up close through the window! And today, a chickadee flew into the corner planter box to have a look! Never in the nearly five years that we have lived here, have I seen birds visit my patio! It truly is Spring, if you are bird watching!
Welcome to my adventure. In March of 2014, I started this Sabbatical diary intending to take a break from the many crafty things that I had been involved with for years. I explored my writing and finished my first novel. Since then, I have changed course, mostly to writing, and I hope you will join my new adventure if you have even a latent desire to be authentic in your own life.
How sweet! Hope your friends continue to visit. Don't you love signs of spring?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you might have a dove family on your patio! I would love to be able to watch birds nesting up close!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo of a beautiful bird! Happy bird watching to you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little visitor :) They're fun to have around, but can sure make a mess!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dilemma!
ReplyDeleteThat dove looks mighty chunky!
ReplyDeleteBirds made a nest in a pot of parsley on my deck a couple years ago. I kept watering the plant somewhat and very carefully. Both birds and plant survived.
