The Two Pelicans Who Left the Zoo Have Been Found

Here’s the news – two pelicans (Joey and Felicity) were missing from the zoo on Saturday

And here’s the news that they’ve been recovered!

On our way home from the library my grandson and I drove by the back of the zoo and saw the zoo workers in the bucket with large nets.
Then I saw the news that two pelicans had left their habitat. There was a hotline where citizens could report a sighting.

Below are two recent photos I took of the pelicans.

My Sister Found This in NYC

Under a scaffolding so it wasn’t getting wet in the rain.

The sign said FREE COUCH

Mary texted me this afternoon as she was on her way to our cousin John’s 90th birthday celebration. .

You know I love it when family or friends send me abandoned furniture. I like to think about all the stories the furniture could tell.

My Neighbor Grows Dahlias

And what a beautiful garden she tends with great love and care.

Marion asked if I’d come up the street and photograph her favorite dahlias.

I was happy to see the many varieties and rich colors, making them easy to capture. The bees were enjoying all the gorgeous blossoms.

The Mourning Doves gather

The Mourning Doves gather outside my bedroom window.

I see them through the screen, the spotty glass,

an impressionist painting.

One paces, one peers in, one struts across

the once red roof.

Gentle warbling coos.

There’s no feeder here.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac says many people interpret the coo as a comforting sign

or message from angels, spirit guides, or lost loved ones. 

What message do you carry little doves?

Who sent you?
