I do not get regular visits from the Cardinal pair but when then do visit, I just marvel at the brilliance of the red.

Funnily enough there was a bit tagged on the end of the article, saying the company is owned by the same company that owns Burger King (I think it said) which is jointly owned by Brazil and the US (again, I hope I am remembering aright).

And for bunnies and groundhogs---both cause problems in our yard and garden. They may be cute but their nibbling, and digging are not appreciated! I do love seeing all the signs of spring.
