Our weather has turned cooler, but there is still lots of sunshine, although the leaves are drifting down, as you can see out the window, where my little dove is sitting. Of course, she can do this only when the cats are outside, and she does enjoy window sitting. I have had her since 1987, and am always thankful she is still doing so well. Isn't she sweet?I did also receive a very nice award from Gramma Ann, which for some reason refuses to open, so I will have to work on that early next week. But I did want to thank Ann for thinking of me.
I am getting ready for company later this month, and am really looking forward to it. My daughter and granddaughters will be here Thanksgiving week, not only to celebrate Thanksgiving, but my birthday as well. I can hardly wait until they get here!!
I hope all is well with everyone. Thank you for reading. Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings from the woods!

Hi Renie,
Your dove is a beauty. Is it a pet or just claims you as it's friend/pet?
I've fallen for your blog and always enjoy reading about your antics. You are deserving of the award.

Ann,
The dove is a ring necked dove and yes, it's a pet dove. A friend gave me two of therm in 1987. One of them did go to dove heaven three years ago, but Dovey is still thriving, thank goodness.
Happy weekend!
Renie
O! He's pretty! Have a good weekend, Renie.
Sounds like you will definitely have a blessed Thanksgiving this year. Birthday, what day is that?
Happy week-end to you. It's cloudy and drab looking here this morning. And very chilly.
I just realized you said you've had the bird since 1987, that's quite a long time for a bird, isn't it?
Our company is here and we are having as grand ole time.
I have three doves that my two children and I always used to top our Christmas tree. They were my parents and we acquired them in 1975.
your dove is lovely.
I would love to come to a real thanksgiving dinner. maybe one day
What a beautiful dove and how lovely it's lived so long.
Hope you have a lovely time with your family and a great birthday.
My, my Renie. I can hardly wait for Thanksgiving either. Do you like making yourself a nice a thanksgiving dinner?
What a beautiful dove!
Congrats on another well deserved award!
Enjoy your weekend!
Your dove is beautiful, Renie, as is the view from your window.
I am so glad your daughter and granddaughters are coming for Thanksgiving and your birthday. Have a great celebration.
Blessings,
Mary
Gosh what a beautiful bird Renie - does she coo lots? I also didn't realize they can live for so long - how wonderful!
That bird is great!! Is he a regular at your house? Have a great weekend!
That dove is as old as one of my grandchildren...
Love the picture!
Renie,
You are the first person I have known to have a dove for a pet. Cool! Let us know when your birthday is so we can send you cyber wishes along with your family.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs,

Your dove is so pretty. I love the cooing sounds they make.
Your yard is carpeted with all the lovely colors of autumn. The leaves here are mostly brown now since we've had some very frosty mornings.
I sure understand you looking forward to having family come to visit. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving because most of my family will gather for dinner and a time of family togetherness.
We are blessed.
God bless you Renie.
Happy Birthday to you!
Have a great week and tahnk you for sharing your pictures with us.
Best wishes,
Annie

I didn't know Dove's could live that long. The Dove looks very content.
Very nice photo and thanks for showing off one of your family members.
I love doves. What is the name of yours?
We get many of them here, in our backyard and they find their way into quite a few of my poems. One in particular you may enjoy is here:

What fun to have your granddaughter and daughter for your birthday celebration and Thanksgiving.

I love that picture of you on the quad over there. You go, Renie!!

What a beautiful photo.. I hope you arew having a good week and Happy veterans Day!
Hello Miss Renie,
I enjoyed beebopping in the woods with you. I like your dove she is doing well. Went to let the dogs out a little bit ago and it is snowing like crazy.
Enjoy your days and I look forward to more visits. Oh, just to let you know, my tomatoes are getting ripe. I just enjoyed a BLT, nummy!
I'm sure you are looking forward to Thanksgiving week with your family.
Hmmm....your birthday is coming up. Let us know which day.
I'm finally feeling better and trying to catch up with all my blogging buddies.
All the posts are breathe taking with the photos..Good Luck..
Hi Renie! Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my blog I was blown away. I was looking at the photos of all your animals following you into the woods. I get the same here two cats,six chickens and our calf come along whenever the girls and I go for a walk. I love doves but can't have them here otherwise my kitties will eat them. I love your blog not wonder you have so many followers!!! I'm looking forward to being a grandma one day when my eldest daughter finishes her PHD in Psychology and settles down. She's 23years old with a big gap down to her two much younger sisters. I've read a Chicken Soup for the Soul book - lovely.
All the best I'll be back again very very soon
Liz
What a neat picture. :) Congrats on the award!!
I did not know that doves lived so long, is he/she very tame?

How wonderful to have a pet dove! I just love doves! The leaves are falling here too and this weekend is supposed to get colder.
Oh how beautiful Renie! Your own dove?? What is her name? And wow..21 years? Is that unusual or not? Cowboy is petrified of birds..I'd never get away with one in the house!
That is a wonderful picture and with all the leaves as the background!
~Hugs~
