Some new experiences lately. Butterflies and dragonflies flying in very close and hovering, following. Our local neighbor cat who seemed to be intently wishing to connect with me.
Then today.
Since living in this neighborhood, we have had the pleasure of listening to a pair of Mourning Doves daily during the warmer months. They often hang around our house and on neighboring properties. We have spoken with them. Greeted them. They always remain at a distance.
Until today.
All three of us were out back when our little one noticed one of the doves up on our roof. It seemed to be listening to us. We greeted her. She then flew down to the grass, just a couple of feet from all of us, and sat there. We all crouched down, speaking with her. She bobbed her head and stayed put for a few moments before flying away.
It was so awesome.
I said it’s like we are all learning how to be a peace with one another again.
