The mourning dove wanted to use the empty feeder for a perch. They like to sit up there and look down on the world below. I have not seen them very often to the feeder but the doves seem to survive.
All of the Christmas angels are now gone and the menagerie of African carved animals are back on display. We collected them a few at a time through a few short years. The carvings are from a certain country and the company that managed them was buying them from the carvers, giving them a good profit, and selling them in the United States. It was a mission to help the people of the country to gain and improve their economy.
I do remember the name of the country as being Kenya. I can still pull up African carvings on ebay. The kind of shop at that time sold articles from many different countries with the goal to help the economies of poor countries. I wanted to get an elephant for the collection but deemed it not essential. I guess the internet has taken over the world craft markets.
We are melting today. It got up to the lower 50 degrees F. and we have lost a lot of snow in the yard. We are to have a week or more days of this same kind of weather. Thanks for stopping by today.
