I was chosen in the first round of 18 jurors on Tuesday morning. So I had to go through all the judge's questions, and then the attorney's questions and after the first 7 jurors were excused I thought "Uh-oh" this is not good. I'm still here! So I resigned myself to being in Santa Ana Superior Court for a 3 week trial.
At the last minute the judge thanked and let 4 of us go. I don't remember when I have ever been so happy! It was like a release from prison.
Limo Man and I celebrated with a Haus of Pizza house special and some tequila.
Great to be back!

Jury Duty UGGGGHHH
It's bad enough to have to get up early on a Monday morning and go to work.
Maybe I shouldn't say that because after all I am blessed to have a job.
But this morning I had to get up extra early and go to Jury Duty. And that jury duty was at the Santa Ana Superior Court. UGH.
It's an awful drive and an awful area and there were people hacking and sniffing up all over the place and it was just an unpleasant experience.
Oh and did I mention that I get to go back tomorrow because they are going to begin picking a jury for a 15 day trial?
UGH.
Pray for me.

Friday Tragedy
Friday morning when Limo Man left to go to work the doves and the babies and the nest were intact. Between 4:40am and 7:00am when I leave to go to work we think that either an opossum or a cat got up on the plant stand and knocked the whole thing over. When I walked out the eggs were sitting in the dirt cracked. I was upset but didn't want to be late to work so I left everything the way it was. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures until I got home from work and by that time the eggs had been eaten.
Above here's what's left of the nest (and the mint plants).
This is what is left of the one egg.
Oh this just isn't good.
This is the first thing that I saw when I walked out the front door Friday morning. It just didn't look right. I was afraid something like this would happen. Nature can be pretty cruel.

Here's to your birthday and best wishes for the next year Dad, may they be good to you and fill you with a sense of wonder.
The picture below is of Jack Daddy when he was a Major in the Air Force. (aka a Major stud)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY ALL YOU MOMS!
Speaking of Moms...It looks like one of the babies came back to spend Mother's Day with Mom but was surprised when Dad was here instead of Mom. Dad quickly took off and left junior to babysit.
Dad came back and the two of them caught up for a while.I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day.
Here's a shout out to Jalene with her two beautiful daughters Quinn and Delaney, and to Marjean on her first Mother's Day with Border, and to Kari and little Gabi.

Egg count update
Limo Man came home late last night and reported that the mama was gone from the nest and that there were 2 really big eggs in the nest.
I have noticed that there are 3 doves who are hanging out around the nest and all they seem to do is poop all over the place.
When this next brood is out of my brand new mint plants I am going to have to do some rethinking of what to put there.
I mean really it's neat that we got to experience the doves having babies but enough with the bird shit already.

Only 1 Egg In This Brood So Far
Usually the mourning doves lay 2 eggs. This time around so far there is only 1 egg and it's a pretty big egg. Hmmmmm...I wonder if it's twins?I did some further research and found that sometimes it can take anywhere between 1 day and 1 week for the female to lay a second egg. I guess we'll just have to wait to see what happens. This picture was taken at about 8:30pm.
