Our birds are back!

Last year two doves nested in my hanging planter. We loved having them around, particularly when they successfully hatched baby birds.

They're back! Well, I guess I don't really know which birds they are (did the parent doves come back? did the babies decide to reclaim their early home?) but a pair of doves has most certainly settled into the planter. They lined it with soft hair from the boys' past cuts, and now putter in the strawberry patch and coo outside my bedroom window.

I'm feeling decidedly fond of our little birds.
