New Addition(s)

When I moved into this larger apartment prior to Tauna and Isaac coming down, I bought a few plants to dress it up a bit, including a couple of hanging ferns for the patio. Tauna had quite a surprise last week. She got out the fire hose (the only source of water out front) to hose down the floor and water the plants. She gave the ferns a good drenching, only to notice afterwards that one of the ferns has a dove nesting in it! It was pretty interesting. Tauna couldn't see it initially because she just reached the hose up to the basket and poured water in. The bird just sat there and got soaked. I got some pictures of thee bird (which Isaac has named "Claire." It's an Isaac thing to name any animal he comes in contact with, including "Jericho" a little lizard that has been hanging around the porch). I also got a picture up there one time when Claire was away and found out why she wouldn't fly off despite the drenching Tauna gave her. She has a couple of eggs she is caring for. Anyway, we thought it was interesting enough to put on the blog...
