30 tiny moments: day 17

…for today we saw the return of Mr. and Mother Dove. Every year since we moved here, they have built a nest under our back deck.
It was a pleasant surprise to look out the kitchen window and see them outside preening their feathers. Although a bit bittersweet to realize that this year, when their tiny chicks make their spring appearance, we will be long gone, back to Oregon.
I hope the new people appreciate them.
