There have been a few heartwarming and joyful moments the past few days that I captured with my iphone camera.
Several were simply watching our cat Olive. Then I spotted a bright red cardinal sharing a branch in a tree alongside 10 quail. I missed getting that photo, but I did manage to get the cardinal sitting by himself and quail enjoying the bird feed I put down.

Nothing big and exciting has happened this week so far. But It’s been a a nice week of walking, reading, writing, ping pong and enjoying the quiet moments with the cat and wildlife.
How is your week going? What are your highlights so far?
Lovely pictures!
Thank you!
Quiet weeks are always welcome.
We’ve been pretty quiet too.

December 7th, my sister sent a small Cardinal Figurine. It was suppose to arrive before Christmas in honor of our Mother. It arrived in Italy today. And your Post also appears today. What a Coincidence ? Ciao.
Wow. That’s amazing. I like coincidences like that. Synchronicity.
Thanks for commenting, Jeff. It’s nice to hear from you!
What a pretty red on that cardinal! And your Olive looks like my Benny when he wants to go for a walk.
The cardinal has been hanging out for a few days. He’s giving me such joy. I couldn’t figure out what Olive wanted. Certainly not a walk!
This is better than last! Saw A couple of fun old films. Going out to celebrate Chinese New Year tonight
It’s the year of the Tiger. I would love to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Usually lots of places do special menus, but had trouble locating. The place were going tonight is supposed to have a special thing, but we’ll,see. Otherwise we will just have great food anyway
Wow those cacti! Have never seen that just growing in the garden like that. Lovely shots.
We moved here a little over a year ago. It’s so different from what I’m used to. The previous owner spent 15 years working on the garden.
They did a great job. I’ve never been to Arizona so your pictures are amazing for me.
