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.
