1. The female cardinal was in the honeysuckle bush looking in the sunroom and kitchen windows to make sure Dad's birthday preparations were going on.
2. 100th birthday party for Dad
3. The male cardinal perched in the honeysuckle vine. Dad thanking me for his 100th birthday party
4. The Vernal Equinox and the cardinals visited the honeysuckle vine. I think they are looking it over as a potential nesting site.
5. A student brought in an individual apple pie for everyone in class. It would have been her daughter's 21st birthday. Her daughter didn't like cake, but loved apple pie so the pies were a way to honor the memory of her daughter.
How was your week?
How sad for the woman whose daughter would have been 21, but what a great way to observe her memory. And it fit well with celebrating your father's 100th, too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the rest of the week was for the birds (grin)!
:-D For the birds!
DeleteWhat a memorable week you had. It was so nice of your student to include everyone in class as she did to honor her daughter's memory. Very thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
An honor for her to include us
DeleteSounds like a good week. That was a great idea with the apple pies in memory of her daughter. My week was busy and sometimes frustrating. Have a great weekend, Valerie
ReplyDeleteA tasty idea, too.
DeleteThat's a good week in my book, and what a wonderful way to honor a daughter. I remember there used to be a store in downtown worcester called called Ware Pratt (or something like that) which used to give free apple pies on your birthday. They carried mens, women and boys clothes. No girls. So my brother would get a pie and not me because my mo couldn't resist the free pie. Happy weekend. Hope you are etting all rain.
ReplyDeleteAll rain here and in the basement. Lechemere Sales used to give a free cherry pie on Washington's Birthday. That was always a treat to go into Boston to get a free pie. Cherry is my favorite.
DeleteA good week! Happy, sad, touching and full! :D
ReplyDeleteRan the whole range of emotions this week.
DeleteCardinals nesting in the honeysuckle would be such a treat! I hope they settle there :)
ReplyDeleteThe apple pies were such a sweet and thoughtful remembrance.
Since the honeysuckle vine is next to the sun room, I think the cardinals would find it too busy a place as that's where we hang out when the weather gets better. It would be very cool to be so close to them as they raise their chicks
DeleteAll wonderful good things.
ReplyDeleteThe pie--what a wonderful way to honor her daughter's memory.
Sharing pie with everyone was a lovely gesture.
DeleteSounds like a wonderful week and I hope the birthday celebrations went well! So nice to see the cardinals checking up on you throughout the week 😁. Let's hope they nest in the honeysuckle! That was a lovely way to remember her daughter too, such a lovely gesture! Have a great day! J 😊 x
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun for us to have the cardinals nest in the honeysuckle vine, but I think with us going in and out of the sun room, watching tv, it might be too noisy and scary for the birds.
DeleteThat was so thoughtful, to give everyone apple pie in honouring the memory of her daughter! I love the cardinals and your dad's birthday! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThe cardinals make me think of my folks.
