A Messenger in Auntie's Tree

I lost a very old and dear friend to Covid yesterday and it is so very sad.  Another loving soul lost to this horrible disease.  An hour after I received the call I walked by the back door and there was a beautiful Cardinal sitting in Auntie's Tree, a messenger bird.  I don't see them often so I was very happy.  I ran to get my camera.  He flew to the porch and hopped up to the door looking right at me.  That has never happened before!  Somehow, it made me feel just the littlest bit better.  Rest in peace and rise in glory dearest Chicky.  Your work here is done and I will think of you every time I see a Cardinal.
