The Backyard Cardinal



For several years now, we’ve had  pair of cardinals who visit our bird feeder, rest in the backyard, and sometimes chirp in the windows to torture the cats.  

We love all of it and were especially delighted a few weeks back when a new cardinal turned up.  He’s a loner and small enough to be young and so we’ve named him the Bachelor Cardinal.  Earlier this week, he sat high on the branch above me as I soaked up the sun and the brilliant blue sky.

I love my backyard and the wildlife it contains and as week four of staying home settles around me, views like this are a balm on my worries.
