Not book related, but I was excited to post an update about the nesting mourning dove I mentioned last Friday in my #5JoysFriday: Mama dove has a baby!

We greet her quietly whenever we use the gate, and she seems comfortable enough with us, so hopefully, she will remain safe and happy there until baby can grow up strong and healthy!

(And doesn't she have gorgeous eyeliner?)

AmyG She is just beautiful. 1mo

This haiku is about what I saw in my backyard today. The blue jay flew off when I opened the door and I saw a lizard in the grass panting like he was scared to death. He was fighting for his life trying to keep from getting eaten. Poor baby. This picture of the Blue Jay is from Google.

Blue jay fighting with a lizard
The fight ended with the lizard panting in the grass
The lizard won the fight because he didn‘t get eaten

This haiku is dedicated to my backyard wild birds and squirrels. I fed the birds and put out peanuts for the squirrels yesterday and put in fresh water in the bird bath yesterday and today. My birds and squirrels are having a party outside today in my backyard. They‘re happy.

Birds and squirrels having a party in the backyard
Taking baths, drinking water, scarfing down the food
like they haven‘t been fed in 4 or 5 days
