It's Okay to Take a Nap!

Yesterday I was able to spend a lot of time with my sister.
Any time we can steal for sister time is cherished.
We are sisters and best friends.
It's been over 30 years, but we still miss Mom...and need her, so we are also like 'a mother' to one another.

We walked together,
stopped along the way and had lunch at the cutest ol' fashioned diner together... ... and prayed together...

After she left, I continued to 'care for myself.'
I had two cups of tea.
It was also a beautiful afternoon.
...just warm enough...
with a beautiful blue sky and puffy clouds drifting by.
My oversize chair invited me over for the nap I've needed to take for months.
...a mid-day recovery...
I fell for it.
When I slowly opened my eyes, almost two hours later, a mourning dove was sitting on one of the bird feeder perches.
...just looking at me...
... watching me ~ like I watch her...
She sat there for the longest time.

I took these photos today of the doves that visit the feeder.

Then, I noticed... no food in the bottom feeder...
I guess they know who to stare at long enough for a little supper!
