I was planting roses out front on the trellis on Thursday night and went to clear off the ivy from the corner post of the arbor so that I could get it cleaned up and get some clematis planted and got QUITE a shock when I reached up to start hacking away at the ivy and a bird flew out right in my face! Seems a pair of turtle doves have decided that the ledge that the post sits on is a great place to set up home for their two little eggs. Unfortunately I didn't get a shot of the nest with the eggs. (I wanted to get out of the way so mom and dad could come back to the nest.) I checked again on Saturday and it looks like they're back on the job. Hopefully we'll have cute baby turtle doves before too long!
