up to this point dottie has been the only red-breasted woodpecker hanging out in the front yard. i had figured her for a modern fast-talkin career gal with no interest in making attachments that would only tie her down...
but in the past few days a gentleman suitor has been hanging around.
i don't know much about him yet. is he a rouge? i can only hope his intentions are honorable, as i have grown very fond of dottie and i'd hate to see her get her heart broken.

He looks like a perfect gentleman. How exciting to have bird courting in your front yard! I hope we get updates on an unfolding love story.

We'll show my age again...Gentleman Caller? okay Blanche. :)
You made me smile today...and I thank you for that...even if, in the end, everyone's intentions are not truly honorable.

I'm loving the continuing story of 'your' woodpeckers. It's a beautiful love story. The leading man is very very dashing :)
