She was basking in the afternoon sun....
She is one of those 7 Cardinals who frequent my yard....almost daily...♥️
No snow left in these cedars....
But....still lots on the ground...
Grabbing all the seeds that Red knocks out!
And...of course....a few cute little Juncos...
The sun was putting on a great display that day...
Shining thru the grasses....and lighting them up....
The lid of one of the feeders looks very dramatic with the addition of some warm sunlight....
And....in the dining room....
The Alstroemeria's are just about ready to fall...
enjoying the afternoon sun!
We are snug and warm again....thanks for all your kind thoughts!
We have Miss V with us today...
This will be our last sleepover for a while...:o(
**********
On the menu this fine Friday...
Easy peasy.....Spaghetti and Meat Sauce....Ceasar salad...parmesan crusty bread...
Perhaps some bruschetta... as an appetizer.....
If I am not too lazy!! hahaha!
***********
Hard to believe...by this time next week....my boyfriend and I will be "On the road again"...
Making our way to the sunny south....I know it hasn't been really warm down there
this year....but....I am sure....most of you will agree...
ANYTHING BEATS THE WEATHER WE HAVE BEEN HAVING!!!!!
Looking forward to walking the sandy beach...
Meeting up with some friends....
Getting furry hair......hahaha!
And.....watching that glorious sunset....from these awesome beach chairs!!
Took this shot last year...we stayed next door....but this year....these chairs...
ARE ALL OURS!!!!!
Enjoy the rest of your day....
Cheers! :o)

Oh Linda, you and Betsy take the best "bird" pictures I've ever seen. My neighbor gives me her copies of Birds and Blooms, and they can't even touch the beauty you capture. Mrs. Cardinal is so stunning in those colors. It truly took my breath away when I open your blog and saw her.
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to a lazy weekend. I'm making old fashioned meatloaf and scalloped potatoes tonight. That was a staple in our house growing up. Mom made that sweet mustard, ketchup, brown sugar sauce..gonna do the same..Need some momma memories...Miss her so, and it's been way over 20 years.
Enjoy your trip to the cottage. Sending smiles and hugs
You say the sweetest things Wanda....thanks so much♥️
DeleteYour dinner sounds scrumptious....just like Mom!
Enjoy your weekend....
I love the colours on the female Cardinal. We see lots of them here, too but mostly the male. Your photos are beautiful. Miss V is going to miss you when you are away. Dinner sounds great...my kind of meal. I think my 'last meal' would include pasta. haha! Glad it's all toasty warm again for you. I just spent the afternoon with little Gwyn at our home this time. I'm pooped and ready for dinner, too.
ReplyDeleteI agree Deb....she is beautiful!
DeleteGlad you spent the day with miss Gwyn....you deserve it!♥️
I know what you mean about being pooped....imagine...we used to look after ALL of our kids!
Ahhhhhh....the good old days!
Those cardinals are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to your posts from Florida, somewhere I've never been.
Excellent Jessica...will not disappoint!

ReplyDeleteYes they sure are....
DeleteLucky you to have so many beautiful cardinals in your yard! Lucky you to be getting away from all the cold an snow. And. Lucky you to be vacationing in Florida and enjoying the beautiful views. I'm sure it will warm up a bit by then. Snow coming tomorrow and Monday for us.
ReplyDeleteWe had very gusty winds last night....and snow....today is pretty much the same...
DeleteYou are so right....I am a lucky.....duck!
You really do take the best photos Linda! Hope that you enjoy your Adirondack's in Florida!! xx
ReplyDeleteWill do Amy.....I will sit there every day....and think of all my peeps!♥️
DeleteI do agree that Florida will feel wonderful even if unseasonably cool! I'm sure you can't wait. Just to walk anywhere bare footed will feel amazing! We had sun today...which was nice streaming through the window! Still quite cold, though!
ReplyDeleteYou got it Betsy.....and speaking of bare feet...mine are booked for Wednesday for a pampering!
DeleteLOVE the pictures of both the female and male cardinal. Aren't they gorgeous?? Florida, here you come...wish I was coming with you!
