Our Poor Cardinals!

Our poor cardinals are looking a bit worse for wear! From what I understand from seeing them like this one in the photo...or worse...that they are molting. But in the meantime they look rather evil!!!! This one is such a beautiful red...but that red is rather spoiled by his balding black head! I spent a little while the other day on the front porch attempting to capture some of the birds that visit the feeders. Today has been a day of coming and going. This morning I had an appointment with my financial advisor...some decisions have to be made so we were working on reaching that goal. After I got back home, I had some bills to pay...one of which needed to be sent certified mail so I headed to the Post Office. While I was there I bought some more forever stamps. I continued to work on my photos...still working on deleting all but the best and the latest family pictures and the most current ones that I have taken. I'm planning to keep on top of the photos on my iPad and not let them grow to such a large number! This afternoon, I balanced the checkbook...and, it came out to the penny...always a good feeling. I did doze for a few minutes in my stitching chair, but I also did manage to make a few stitches on my little project that I am working on downstairs...now that I have two places to do my needlework...I have upstairs' needlework projects and downstairs' projects! Though at the moment, I am stitching downstairs more than upstairs...partly because of the Olympics. We'll see once they Olympics are over if I go back to stitching more upstairs. I have a small sewing project that I am planning to do...haven't gotten back to sewing very much. "Maybe" this project will inspire me...not sure that it will! But I do want to get this made and hung on the wall in the family room. I will be using a piece of my grandmother's embroidery to make a small wall hanging. I have chosen fabrics to make it with...now to get the inspiration to complete it! This evening, I went to church for a Bible study...an interesting study in the 400 silent years between the Old and New Testaments. So I am now home. I'm going to have a light supper after I publish this and settle in for the night...hoping to stitch while I watch some more of the Olympics. I didn't watch this morning since I had an appointment so tonight's Olympic events are new to me...at this point, anyway. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
