DOVE update - Pansy and Mae are doing well. 
Maybe they’ll even be cute one of these days. 

It just doesn’t take long for those babies to make their entrance into the world.
Thanks for the update, M!

Remember these guys?

What I learned from the Sunday Paper this week.

I remember as a kid running out to the Ice Cream Truck coming down the street on a hot summer day.  My Mother was always a soft touch for my brother and me and would give us enough money for a wonderful treat.

In 1920, Harry Burt found a neater way to sell his mouth-watering but messy chocolate-coated ice cream:  on a stick. 

Soon he took them directly to the streets, dispatching a dozen frosty trucks driven by men in white suits. 

The bells announcing these at-your-door treats quickened young pulses across the country, guaranteeing sweet memories for generations. 

We always had to run.  What if he left before you got there?

Are we missing something?

How did it get to be May?

Sorry folks, if you were looking for unusual holidays in May, I apologize for being so late getting the calendar published.

There are a lot of really interesting days that I would like to celebrate.  I can usually choose one or two events, but this month I don’t think I can limit it to so few.

Happy May. 
I think I’m going for Leprechaun day on the 13th.
and the Hug Your Cat Day on the 15th.

The Doves have returned

I just love spring. 

My friend M from work just sent me a picture of the dove nesting in his hanging basketful of pansies.  There are the requisite 2 eggs and two parents. 

This is the 3rd family of doves they’ve hosted two families last year and so far, one this year.

We have a lot of doves in our yard,
but have never been fortunate enough to see their nests.
