Garden Blog: Cardinal Sin

There is a cardinal who hangs out in our backyard occasionally, courting his lady. I think he’s one of the most beautiful things back there, and I actually find female cardinals beautiful as well. This afternoon, when it began to cool down I turned on the sprinkler to give the flowers some water. The cardinals decided to come enjoy the water and were actually quite cute as they flitted about in my short tree, clearly enjoying themselves. I tried to get pictures, but the little divas were not very cooperative:

Between the sprinkler and the fact that they’re kinda skittish when I’m around, those were the best two pictures I could get of the male. He’s a cute little guy.

When I told Brian about this when he got home, he told me about how, this morning, he was driving along and saw a male and female cardinal flirting with each other, being all friendly and in love, and he fully hit the male with his car while its woman looked on. Man, he’s getting such a bad seat in Heaven; I might have to sneak him bits of cheesecake for all eternity.
