Totally NQR (not quilt related); but thought you might like this picture.  While Ricky, his best friend and family, and I were at Mesa Verde National Park outside Durango, CO; I came upon this Mourning Dove and his little one.  I say "his" because Mourning Doves generally have the father nesting during the day and the mother at night.  Nonetheless, it gave me pause to reflect on my Dad's and my brief life together.  Although I lost him when I was 18, I had 18 wonderful years with him and like this father dove, he was loving, attentive, and protective.  I probably had the same expression at the end of the day too as this little guy...."grrrr, what you lookin' at Arnold!"

This Father's Day, what wonderful memories do you have of your Father or Grandfather on this day we set aside to honor our fathers????
