However, can I put in a plug for female cardinals? They don't get nearly the publicity of their male counterparts, and virtually nothing as a solo act, but they are very pretty in and of themselves. (Just sayin'.)
It is slowly melting...but new snow expected tomorrow and next week. Mother Nature did not get the memo that it is officially spring in MN. This is why I so loved your art and post!

I wonder if “Great” lives between excellence and perfection? It has been said that good is the enemy of great...
And good as the enemy of great, not in a way that would imply we’re not already enough, or good enough at whatever we do or choose to explore, but an example that comes to mind is Lindsey Stirling...
Or, is good what Lindsey accepted so she could follow her passion for dance and she became Great because she refused to sacrifice her values to perform her way? 🤔 Hmmm?
Had she listened to the “experts” she might have settled for good and could easily be playing the violin in a symphony somewhere instead of passionately making music that stirs the soul...
Delightful multimedia creation!

Fingers crossed that your forecast is wrong!
I sense a growing rush of Spring Fever!
Naming the birds? Engagement with those sentient beings around us is synonymous with being social animals.
I can’t wait for the names the mockingbird uses for Thalia, Urania, and Calliope!
Let’s all sign up for Steinbeck’s team! 😁

“Time to prove them wrong!”
Gave me Godbumps!
I see she’s coming to the Wisconsin State Fair. Going to investigate tickets!
I would definitely pay to see her! 🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
MAGNIFICENT NUANCE!
Yes! Quite a lot of it!
