The flowers are very pretty with lovely colors, but fragrance is not strong, only mild fragrance.

Doves on the Roof - Critter 108

 Dove is one of birds comes back to our yards during breeding seasons almost every year. We believe they nest on that time.

Some said doves are a symbol of family and having them is a blessing. It means there is peace in your yard.

Observation summary of doves:

- when the mother left the nest, the father would take his turn keeping eggs warm.

- Once hatched they (other and father) also took turns feeding them.

- The babies are tiny but grow quickly. The young would try to explore and fall out of the nest before being able to fly.

- It was funny watching their parents trying to contain them.

We have also seen adult birds teach their young how to swoop in and pick up food which was interesting. The baby repeatedly failed, and the parent patiently showed it over and over until the baby got it right.

Have doves come to your yards?

The Free Pantry at the Corner

We have several library boxes, kind of swap libraries at our communities. We may take one, then put one as swapping.

Recently, one of library boxes has been converted into a free pantry by someone we don't know yet.

What a fabulous idea!!! And such a good time for it! This is very neighborly: generosity and efforts to support our neighborhood

We may take what we need or that others can also easily provide their support when able to do so.
