Although it's fall here, we have about 65-70 the last few days and will be for a week or so.  It's wonderful weather to work about the yard.  I have been cutting off the iris leaves, cleaning up a couple of other flower beds,  making a compost bin and feeding the doves of course.  They like to eat in the open, of the sunflower seeds that I scatter on the driveway in the morning.  These are the larger doves, there were 28 that I could count, but they didn't all make the picture. The smaller doves eat before and after them, mostly.   They allowed me to take the picture through the window, but I can't open the door while they are feeding, they fly quickly.  My only sadness comes as hubby is down in bed for a week during this wonderful fall weather.  He would much rather be up and out in the garden enjoying the sunshine.  Well,  pray all is well in your garden,  and lovely flowers are nodding at you, as you walk in the peacefulness  of your garden.
