THIS DAY WAS FOR THE BIRDS

A YOUNG FEMALE CARDINAL

Rainy skies dominated Friday morning leaving us with an afternoon cloud cover which only began to dissipate later in the day.  Needless to say, most of my time was spent inside.  Since putting our hanging bird feeder up again a few days ago, feathered traffic has been increasing.  So, I will leave you with a few cloudy day bird pics......Saturday's mostly all-day rain came complete with afternoon lightning and thunder.  Luckily, skies cleared again and we ended another day under sunny skies.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A musical director was having a lot of trouble with one drummer. He talked and talked and talked with the drummer, but his performance simply didn't improve.  Finally, before the whole orchestra, he said, "When a musician just can't handle his instrument and doesn't improve when given help, they take away the instrument, and give him two sticks, and make him a drummer."  A stage whisper was heard from the percussion section: "And if he can't even handle that, they take away one of his sticks and make him a conductor."
