I should have saved the photo of Ellie noshing on her foot for Cat Patches' Foto Finish "funny" entry today! Instead, how about I'll share these two . . .
My normally favorite, beautiful bird is molting. And when cardinals molt, they are FAR from attractive! They look like something the cat dragged in, which is what I thought had happened, the first time I saw one in this state!
Their jaunty little caps disappear, their plumage is funky, and they just look ... well, as someone put it ... like "miniature vultures". LOL! Bless their little hearts. And it's all of them, too; the immature males, the females and the [normally] jaunty males. Even though my photos aren't the best (it's hard to make the darn birds be still!), they certainly are funny! Hop on over to Cat Patches and check out what others found 'funny' this Saturday morning!
On a more serious note (seriously wonderful), this came in yesterday's mail . . .
Whoohoo!! I knew *exactly* what it was, too!! (In fact, I made a special trip to the post office in hopes it would be there!)
I'd won last week's giveaway at Tea With Friends - one of my all-time favorite tea blogs! It was a super-duper collection of different teas. I mean marvelous!
If you're a tea enthusiast and you've not ever checked out Angela's blog, you're missing out on a real treat. From recipes to table settings to tea rooms to pretty little tea accouterments, Angela covers it. And on Saturdays she has the most marvelous tea-related giveaways! Definitely follower-worthy!
This morning I sipped on the Numi, coconut pu-erh. With a little truvia and a little coconut milk, it was *marvelous*!
:)
