Proud Grandparents

Yep, the missus and I are proud grandparents... ...of two brand new mourning doves. It seems a pair of mourning doves (who mate for life, I am told) found a spot under the eve of our front porch and built their nest.

The result:

I'm enough a romantic to be charmed by this familial development. I'm also enough of a believer to want to take it as a sign from above. After all, the dove is the biblical sign of peace. These doves, and any others in the neighborhood, are welcome at my house any time.
