We are in the middle of an ice/snow storm and the environment is about as gloomy as it can get. Except for...

I looked out into our icy- and snow-covered trees and yard and saw many, many beautiful male cardinals on the trees and on the ground.

It was a beautiful sight and gave some lovely color and brightness to the otherwise ugly gloomy view.

They seemed so much more vibrant than normal and I whished I could have gotten a photo of them, but as soon as I approached they flew away.

They'll just have to be a beautiful memory.

Put an appreciative smile on my face.
 
Loverly called us tonight to tell us she got a promotion at work! She's now an assistant store manager. She'll be going back to her original Lowe's store where she started working part time - as a garden center seasonal employee. She started that job about a decade ago. Pretty long "season". :LOL:

That's wonderful.
 
Thanks, guys! She got the call while she was driving to her current store to start her day. Said she almost drove off the road when her new boss told her her new rate of pay. She was not expecting that big of a jump. Comes at a good time, though - the kids are both needing braces. Money in-money out.
 
Last thing that made me smile? This morning while I was potting up herbs, Timi the cat jumped up on the shelf and butted me with her head (cats have remarkably hard heads). I love that cat, and she always makes me smile!
 
I've been sitting on the porch while eating supper and listening to "Marketplace" and just saw my first two hummingbirds of the season! No photo because they flew by fast - one was chasing the other. Playing tag, perhaps?
 
Listening to the woodpeckers going like crazy gobbling up all the ants released from the fallen goliath.

plus hoping the 10 racoons that had been nesting inside the trunk will relocate a little bit further away. :mrgreen:
 
I was going to say watching a deer graze in our backyard 20220925_172516.jpg

but then my baseball team, the Cleveland (Kinder)Guardians, won their division and will be in the playoffs this year! As young and inexperienced as they are, I figured the best they would do was 80-82.
 
Thanks,  GG! Himself and I were grinning ear to ear because of the happiness. No tears from us. Loverly's bestest friend's daughter escorted me down the aisle and, apparently, was my designated cryer. Poor Samantha couldn't stop herself and walked around all evening red-eyed.
