Louise, I had no idea there were two types of doves around here. Perhaps, I've shared photos of Common Ground Doves thinking they were Mourning Doves. This time, their size and colorful beaks caught my attention, especially since I'd posted photos of Mourning Doves the previous week.

It's not an increase in taxes - it's homeowner's insurance and I pay it through my mortgage company. Yes, a big stress producer. Since the first of this year I've been thinking I'd be retired completely by next spring. Now that won't happen and may never happen.
