What do they think about?


She is sitting there for minutes, hours, and days not moving.  Except for the occasional blink of her eyes, one might mistake her for a wax figure.  
There is a job to do.  Yes, it’s important, some might even say it’s the most important job in a lifetime.  It’s the reason for being.  This year, the site was chosen in what was thought to be a private place.  Little did they realize, from behind the window, I can stand a scant few inches away watching and waiting for the appointed day. 
I admire the tenancy and focus in carrying out the goal.  I don’t believe that many of us could exhibit the patience and determination that is shown here.  We could learn from this example. 
Yes, Mama and Papa Dove are back.
Of course, I knew they were around.   It’s spring and the time that they would be here.





I’ve seen and reported to you previously, their search for the perfect place.  I see the excitement if I go on the other side of the glass or get too close to the sacred place.  I’m supposed to be distracted with all of the commotion of rustling around.  Yes, I know what the reason for all of that is, and I try to respect the privacy that is sought.  
I’ll keep you informed, when I know about the sex, names and if the babies  sleep through the night.  
If you don’t hear from me. . .

  2. I feel like a midwife, constantly checking to see if there is anything I can do to help them during this period of confinement. I want to bring her a cuppa tea, or maybe a worm!

I love comments!

I know that many of you that follow INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK, email your comments or tell me in person your thoughts. I like that too. But it's fun to check back on my blog for your reaction to what I've written. Sometimes, I even look for the comments a couple of times a day AFTER a post has been published (However, we don't have to go into what obsessive behavior is all about).

Read the blog with no comments? That’s good too. I appreciate you reading “INCLUDING THE KITCHEN SINK” and the support you have shown me in this project.

Please come back!
