Nemo and I are expecting company today. Momma Dog taught us this little jingle to say when you see a cardinal. She learned it from her mother, it’s probably a Missouri thing.
Red Bird, Red Bird, please be true, see someone I’m not expecting to.
We saw several pairs of Cardinals today, so we are sure a visitor is coming. We played in the piles of leaves Momma Dog raked off the flower beds, and rolled in them just so we could smell extra nice. This afternoon we are taking the pruners up the hill and clear a path through the raspberry canes. The rabbits have chewed a lot of them off and Nemo’s big furry feet collect them whenever we go that way. I can climb to the first fork of the oak tree now. Of course it helps having a fallen tree right beside it. Later Mate, Huck
