Spring Has Sprung
 

I guess spring is officially here.

Today I saw a dove sitting in a hanging pot on the clothes line. I said to myself, "Self, that's an odd place for a dove." The pics tell the rest of the story.

Awww...how cute!

Isn't that "Hens 'n Chicks" in the pot?

my first thought, too!

That made me lol

I think that's called a squab

14 degrees F here this morning, Spring is postponed until further notice.

It is gonna take a flock of those for a decent meal though spud.

Not til it's cooked. 'Til then it's just a flying rat's country cousin.



And, yes, I think that is 'hens & chicks'.

There isn't much nesting material in that pot.Maybe she had to lay those eggs fast. :)

Just needed a perimeter to keep them in the center, she had that nice soft green stuff to lay the eggs on.

I suppose. I wonder how she's doing.

Slowly, at 350F with a little sage and onion, I suspect.

Just a shade under 80 degrees F here today as I sit here typing this from an open air coffee shoppe. We had nine inches of snowfall ten days ago.

Snowed here yesterday, gorgeous t-shirt weather today.
