Anyway, I have had a few peculiar cardinal experiences of my own. One just happened last week. I walked out on the deck to feed Taco, and looked out on the yard and my thoughts turned to my dad. The sun was setting and there were no squirrels or birds and not a split second later a red cardinal landed on the fence. It didn't hop down to get any of the bird seed, but it just sat there for about 30 seconds and then flew away. My thoughts went from sad to peaceful. I texted Sally about it, and she felt the same thing I felt. It was Daddy telling us to smile.
I have yet to catch my cardinal on camera, so I am not sure if anyone has quite believed me about him. But today, Jay and I spent a couple of hours in the backyard raking leaves and hanging up additional bird feeders and such. And all of a sudden he appeared. Sitting once again on the fence. My dad helped us build our fence and deck, so I always think of him most when I am looking out on it or working in the yard. And this cardinal just sat there while we worked. The only bird brave enough to venture near all the noise we were making and Taco running around the yard.
I know it sounds ridiculous to some people, but my Aunt Penny told me that our dad would show himself to us in one way or another. And us girls think the cardinal is our sign.
