The circle of life goes on.
Monday was one of the saddest days I’ve had since I began blogging.
But at the same time we experienced a great loss in our family, we also have the joy of watching this sweet little family that built their nest right outside our bedroom window.
Don’t you love the teamwork?! (I hope you enlarge to watch this “riveting” video in full screen).
Baby cardinal was 8 days old here. When Momma didn’t have anything for her to eat….
Poppa to the rescue! What do you think that green thing is???
And did you see how quickly it went through Baby? LOL!
How many more days till Baby flies the coop?
As you might have noticed, Baby is an only child. There is still a lonely little egg in the nest that just doesn’t seem like it is going to hatch.
The circle of life.
It is a beautiful, sad, happy, joy-filled experience.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
That baby bird sure did get some feathers quickly! I couldn’t figure out what that green thing was but it sure went through him fast! LOL
I hope you are feeling better today Jody. My heart is with you and I mean that.
Have a wonderful day and sending lots of hugs!! ((hugs!!)) xoxoxo

So amazing to watch Jodi! I feel like the Mom may have been saying, “where the heck is your father with that food? I know, I hear you, you’re hungry! Oh for the love of Pete, I”ll go find you something!”

I’m crossing everything it’s physically possible to cross that this little creature fledges successfully. I’m thinking of you, dear one.
