Today is a day filled with straightening, laundry, dishes, Christmas cards, and secret shopping! :-D  Our demented cardinal is back at the window for the third year in a row.  He can see is reflection and thus throws himself at the kitchen window attacking the other bird there.  We have some pictures of it.  I will post them up if I can figure out how to do so.  Our schnauzer pippin is not sure what to think of it.  He likes to bark at the birds from the comfort of my lap.  He is ferocious behind a window or screen door!
