Donna: Every year the little doves gracing our yard create their nest. They choose the same place atop a vertical hurricane shutter near the patio where they graze. Others of their growing flock take turns, producing as many as five clutches during a breeding season. A new mother dove now sits in the same nest that her mother and grandmother did last year. I stepped outside yesterday to complete a task out front and sang a devotional song to the Holy Mother. I intended to soothe the brooding mother and her stalwart mate who stationed himself on my path.
