Let's meet the Cardinal

I don't know about you, but I had never met a cardinal. Not until my friend Janice posted a comment on this blog and introduced me to the Northern Cardinal.

A member of the North American congregation, this cardinal exudes passion from his brilliant red plumage, and royalty from the outstanding galero crowning his head. This humble cardinal is happy with the modest grub that kind hearts offer in their back yard.

Through the seasons, this small eye-catching cardinal travels throughout the eastern US and Canada spreading a joyful message and filling people's heart with song. A special cardinal indeed.




So thank you Janice for giving me and readers of this blog a glimpse of garden life in your part of the world.

And thank you all that post a comment - i'm not able to change my island's isolation, but through your comments, i'm starting to fly over the cuckoo's nest.

Twit! twit!

It is another Friday night. I am listening to the Cardinal. It is very pleasant meeting the Cardinal tonight. My meal for tonight was a hearthy veggie soup, lovely thin wheat crackers with brie cheese. For dessert, I have a couple of items in mind....Mr. Cardinal agrees that it is going to be sweet and healthy. This Cardinal keeps on singing non stop! I think for tonight I prefer listening to my recording of sea waves approaching Calypso's shore. Aha, as for my dessert it is going to be low fat vanilla yoghurt with a dust of cinnamon and light chocolate shavings. I cannot concentrate on my writing any more. But, please keep in touch!
