Yesterday, while I was feeling especially poorly, I got up early to get something to drink. I looked out the dining room doors and there, on a feeder, was a bright red Cardinal and a brilliantly yellow Goldfinch.
Even feeling as badly as I did, I wanted that picture, so I snuck over to my camera, turned around and both birds were gone. I think it’s personal. Still, it was a beautiful sight with the early morning sun shining on the two bright birds. So in compensation, here are some pictures of scarlet Cardinals and yellow Goldfinches. They are beautiful.

Watching our Cardinal get fat makes me happy. They used to get so thin in the winter.

It was the combination, too. One SO red and the other the color of sunlight.

They brighten up my world. Right now, they are very confused. We’re having a storm and I took down the feeders, so they are all over the brackets. The squirrel found the feeders, though.

The company of birds: it seems like thoroughly good company. Which has just reminded me of some of Africa’s traditional tales. Birds are always the messengers, the truth tellers and therefore the means by which wrongdoing is outed. Wise to stick by them then. Hope you’re feeling better today.

I am, but I think we are about to lose power. There’s the a tropical storm outside and the lights keep dipping. I just packed everything against the house, took down the feeders so they won’t get blown to who-knows-where. I always feel better when the birds are around.

I don’t know what other messages they bring, but they remind me to cheer up. And then they flash a bright wing to remind me.

‘Flash a bright wing’ – that’s a cheering phrase.

Isn’t it quite wonderful to feel so pacified and quietly happy by the sheer sight of some birds? Not all is lost….

So far, so good. But I think we are going to lose our lights soon. Tropical storm for the next couple of hours.

On one feeder together, they were really startlingly lovely. I wish they’d let me take their picture.
