A Messenger

Dear Diary,

I don't see many Cardinals in my yard, they are a rare sighting, but one visited me in Auntie's tree.  He sat for the longest time just looking at the house.  Cardinals are "messenger" birds and I always think it is Auntie giving me a nod.  My dear friend Dotty, who passed away several years ago, loved Cardinals so seeing one always makes me think of her too.  Not the greatest photograph but I am so happy the Cardinal appeared.  We got close to 2 feet of snow and the great dig out starts as soon as Matt arrives.
