Life Goes On

Could this be a homing Pigeon? 

You can almost see the band on her leg

The band is clearer to view in this shot

May 2nd - Beautiful Spring Day

Isn't our God wonderful?  After missing Estee so much every time we turn around; Lou was down working on her grave and while he was leveling off the dirt getting ready to plant grass seed, this lovely pigeon walked up beside of him.  He started talking to her and she picked around in the dirt and stayed with Lou all afternoon.  Finally when it was time for Lou to come to the house to get ready to go our for our anniversary dinner, he told the pigeon, he was going to have to go to the house, she followed him to the house.

Lou came in and told me about her so I went out to take a peek at her and we noticed that she had a band on her leg.  Lou decided he would go get some sunflower seeds and see if she would eat them, she certainly did eat them, the whole handful, so he got another handful.

We got ready to go out for dinner and she was still here and was still here today.  I spent the afternoon washing the car and cleaning it out ready for our trip to Tennessee on Saturday and she kept going to the road, and I saw her fly up in the air as a truck went by and he clipped her and some feathers flew, but she seems to be fine, she stayed with me all afternoon, and just before I came in she flew down to our barn.

Krista posted a note about her on Facebook and hopefully the owner will hear about her and come to get her.  We found the owner of a dog that way last week.

It has been an interesting week, we had a visit from a bear on Tuesday night, and he tore the bird feeders up, so Lou spent Wednesday morning putting them back together.  This is the first bear visit we have had in four years.
