Familiar sights of spring
Doves are a common sight in Trinidad and frequent many area neighborhoods with their presence. Their “cooing” sound can be heard at all times duing the day. According to information found on Wikipedia, doves live on seeds and fruits — with a few insects thrown in for good measure by some species. Pidgeons and doves are basically the same creature with the exception of different colored feathers and a few minor body differences. Thank you, Chip Shirley for sharing your dove photo with us.

WOMAN’S LONG-HELD OPINION OF BROTHER-IN-LAW COMES OUT
DEAR ABBY: My sister and I have always been close. She’s married to a man I have always thought is domineering and arrogant. I also suspect that he’s emotionally abusive from things she has confided over the years. These include days of the silent treatment, refusing to celebrate her birthday because he doesn’t believe in it and discouraging her from taking a job she was interested in. He refuses to go to counseling and says whatever problems there are between them are her fault. I hold my tongue and try to tolerate him because she has chosen to stay with him.
