Mourning Dove Soundtrack To An April Fools Snowstorm

An April Fool's snow storm!

This picture can't show much. I'll try again in a few minutes. 34° on the Front Porch. 7 mph winds and 92 percent humidity to go with the Light Snow Fog/Mist. A late winter wonderland. Or maybe it's an early spring winter wonderland. Ok, that's not working for me either. But I ain't changing it. It's purdy out there, whatever the nomenclature.

Waiting for the time to pass reminded me of a favored song!

Time Passages

 by Al Stewart

It was late in December, the sky turned to snow

All round the day was going down slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my mind go
Drifting into time passages
Years go falling in the fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight.

Ok. The bluey should be starting out there. It's 6 oclock...

Oh yeah, it was bluey out there. And the snow is much heavier now. Camera had some fun.

Here we go with the flash

Pretty out there! And quiet. I'm positive a Dove was sitting on one of the power lines in front of the house. My ears were telling me he had to be right behind the trees in this next picture.  

As shy as they are, if Dove could have seen me, he would have flown off. Instead, he sang for his mate the entire time I was on the Front Porch. A soft and hauntingly beautiful soundtrack for this quiet, snowy morning. May you have many, many beautiful mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights, my Fellow Travelers of this Amazing Universe!!

Guess I'm turning this into a 3 day weekend. I'm callin' out. Trusty can't handle this kinda heavy, slushy snow. He can't help it! It's his adorably short little legs. He is who he is. And he's awesome. Wouldn't want him any other way!

Just one more picture. To go with the very first one in this post. What a difference a few minutes can make, huh!?
