Tonight's ornaments feature cardinals and it was hard to choose which ones to post as I have quite a few cardinals on the tree. There a several reasons that I love cardinals...love their red color...looks so Christmasy on the tree! I haven't always lived where cardinals lived in abundance...like they do in TN. So when I lived in AZ and California, it was always special to see one. But cardinals were really important to Woody! He was a BIG fan of the St. Louis Cardinal baseball team...so cardinals took on an even more important meaning for our family! And, now that Woody is gone from us I think about the saying: "When Cardinals appear a loved one is near." So now I think of that saying and feel closer to Woody when I see cardinals. I am stitching a sampler at the moment that has that saying on it. Last year I stitched a cardinal on each of the ornaments that I gave to family members as a memory of Woody. I am having computer problems...it is not saving what I am typing...hoping that will change! I am in the midst of an online cross stitch event. I have had fun chatting with stitchers from all over the country and one from Mexico...so far. This will go on all weekend and I'm enjoying sitting and talking to fellow cross stitchers. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! 'Tis the season! I'm posting this while the posting is good!!!
