When we first moved to AZ, there was this annoying whining dog that lived in one of the houses behind us. That thing drove me nuts! Every morning and evening all I heard was whining. Then as we were sitting on the patio one day it started up again and I told my husband that I’d sure like to find that damn dog. My mother in law was over and she said what are you talking about? So I said, that whining. That is all we hear day and night. TheMan said, yea it is annoying. She said “that isn’t a dog. That is a dove. It is calling out for its mate.”

Well, I sure felt like an ass then. Poor dove. Lost his love. sad.

I’m in! I’m In! Your Thursday 13 is really taking on a life of its own! Terribly fun and makes me think!!

We’ve had a few morning doves here in the spring does that count? One of my favorite sayings is “What goes around, comes around.” Keeps me honest :blush: Have a Happy New Year!!!

We must have one helluva peaceful house because we have them all over our backyard… on the deck… on the roof ledge… on the trees… on the fence post. *laughs*

This is a lovely photo. As for sayings… I still quip “Company’s coming from the (north, south, east, west)!” when we drop a piece of silverware. 🙂

I have a whole book on old sayings and what they mean!! Just ask and I will provide an answer!! I also have mourning doves around here and I love how they “coo”. They are beautiful even if they are nothing more than glorified pigeons!! Did you know they mate for life??

Got a request for you Leanne! When you have the spare time (which I know is in very short supply) could you make me a header with my key for my thursday thirteen? Much appreciated if you get a chance!! Hugsssssssssss

Oh that is a beautiful saying! I am sure I have some from my great-gramma but this late in the day and on a Friday my brain has shut off. Not sure where the switch is either. But when I remember I will be sure to pass it on. The doves are gorgeous!

I hope you and yours have a wonderful 2006! See ya next year!

I immediately thought of attracting my flies with honey than vinegar. From my grandmother though, she would often say to me that if your palm/palms itch, that you’re going to get some money. One time we were leaving a restaurant and she was saying that as we found a $20 in the gutter. I’ve been superstitious about it since!

Clara, you’re a good, smart mom, you know! :hug:

Shel, yes, our snow has all melted here, and I don’t think we’re going to get yours! :raspberry:

Yep, Daisy, my Gramma was a great lady. Thanks! I’m glad you have Doves, too! :lovestruck:
