Another Spring Gift-The Cardinal Family

“Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day, unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.”

Hi friends,

I came home yesterday afternoon to an amazing sight.  There were between 15 and 16 cardinals in my garden where we have our bird feeders.  I sincerely mean it when I say gift.  Most of my photos were taken through the kitchen window so I would not scare them… so forgive the quality.  This went on for hours. I finally ask Bob if he thought they would go to sleep soon.

This statue made a great landing for them.

He is big and beautiful.

She is just as beautiful!

He looks a little unnerved.  She is on the branch to his left.  Keeping an eye on her.

Three or four was the most I could get together.  They were flying in the trees, eating from the feeders and eating from the ground. The bird serenade was like nothing I have heard.

I expect we are going to see lots of baby birds soon.

The bad ole squirrel didn’t even deter them.
