A Red Cardinal Day!

I'm not sure exactly when, but in one of my past blog entries, I said that I would someday get a picture of the shy cardinal in the back yard that stops to visit my tree regularly but only when I do not have a camera and never when I am in his visual field; today is very special. It's RED CARDINAL DAY! It sounds as good as Grandparents Day or Secretaries Day. I think it sounds even better, so it's official, at least in my book. 

You're right; it's not the red cardinal, but it's a baby female cardinal, and she is very shy and will never let me take her picture. Today, she posed for me. So is this reason to celebrate? Of course it is, but it's not  the only reason to celebrate; there's more.                        

Isn't she/he beautiful? I think it's a she. It's the eyes. She watched me for the longest time. While she was watching me, someone else made a special appearance. I had a feeling he might because I heard him chirping earlier when I was blowing leaves off the driveway. He not only came on stage; he performed.

           I am so enchanted by the fact I captured the cardinal in a picture. This day MUST be special.

 
As simple as this excitement may seem, it is an answered prayer, so you see why this is 
RED CARDINAL DAY! 

Don't forget to mark your calendars!

You haven't done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy. John 16: 24

Peace.
