Patience

door greeters at the Raleigh Tavern
So what is the deal with these two pigeons in my photo? Ah, it is a study in patience! You see, these birds are perched above the doorway entry for Raleigh Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. With teamwork and patience, they will soon be able to get the attention of some unsuspecting visitors arriving and departing from the Tavern! Look out below, haha!

Patience, my dears. That trait has somewhat escaped me the past few weeks, as I continue to heal and recover from replacement surgery for my left knee. And I know that my sweet visitors here may be getting impatient about the partial inattention to my blog. Rehabilitation is like taking baby steps and full recovery is a long way off. My usual pastimes and activities continue to be scaled back, including time on the computer and photography. So let’s continue to stay at our perches and wait a while longer for opportunities to have more fun together. Okay?

I am planning on participating in the next Brenda Photo Challenge, coming up this Saturday. The theme is “Keeping Cool”. I’ll be showcasing a beautiful place that we saw on a vacation four years ago. Be sure to come back and find out about this surprise destination!

  1. Ahh, yes, there's a reason why patience is a virtue. I'm thinking that staying in any one position for too long would be very uncomfortable for you. Take it just as it comes and soon you'll be able to do things you've not dared to dream of.

  8. Donna, it won't be long and you'll be "back in the saddle again"! I know you've got boundless energy that is going to come back....patience is NOT fun to use...I remember when I was preggers with my last baby, and I broke my ankle at 6.5 months....I got better just in time to deliver him...and boy did I learn me some patience those months in between!
