Wherein the Bug Decides That She Needs New Glasses

I was doing dishes on Saturday & enjoying watching the birds under the feeder. Then I noticed that there was a cardinal sitting under the pine trees. It wasn't moving, which worried me.


So after I finished doing the dishes I trundled out the back door to see what was wrong with this poor bird.


What was wrong is that it wasn't a bird at all.


It was a red ribbon tied around a tree branch. Yes, I spent several minutes feeling concerned about a piece of red fabric.

    Yeah, I echo Rita's comment. I'm impressed you even noticed that ribbon!

    For me it was a deflated birthday balloon.

    I couldn't even see it until the final picture. But for future use: I don't think cardinals sit still very long.

    Remember, I mistook a CPR doll for a real person a few years back.

    Don't feel bad. Red's a color that screams "Notice me!"
