Something good about Mississippi

If you know the Pompotous, you know he is an extremely fair man. So the Pompotous needs to speak about something GOOD about Mississippi.

Our house has a fairly large courtyard. The two external walls are lined with vegetation, and the walls fronting the house are lined with french doors. This provides easy viewing of the multitude of wildlife that stops by to visit. We have had cats, mice, opossums, geese, ducks, hummingbirds, various other birds, chameleons, squirrels, chipmunks, and frogs visit from time to time. (And a deer was seen on the street outside the courtyard.)

Our latest visitors consist of two adult morning doves and their child. In addition to watching the feeding of the tyke, Pompotous and crew have observed the mama bird illustrating to the youngster how to fly, and, when leaving via the courtyard, we've observed the mama bird doing the "Oh, I'm damaged!" trick to lure us away from the baby.

It was very neat watching the mama dove demonstrate (in bits and pieces) techniques for flying, and was a positive Mississippi experience for the Pompotous and family.
