Cardinals

Carly and I had 2 separate male cardinal encounters today. This morning at breakfast, as Carly was saying the blessing, a cardinal hovered at the french door window right where we were sitting. Then it landed on the orange hibiscus tree (next to the window) for a second, and then flew off into the backyard. It was like he was trying to join us for the blessing and blueberry pancakes.

Later, we were in Carly’s room with her blinds pulled up high. I heard the special cardinal chirp coming from directly outside her bedroom window. We looked, and sure enough…there was a male cardinal on the butterfly bush under her window. It jumped onto the shepherd’s hook nearby, looked back and saw us looking at him through the window. He flew into a tree in the backyard.

Are these really signs? I don’t know, but right now it doesn’t matter.
