One of Many

How many different “cardinals” are there? Let’s see, they are dignitaries of the Catholic Church, dressed in red robes; if you break a cardinal rule it’s said there will be dire consequences; to live a happier life you should follow these 7 cardinal rules (google to learn how you’re doing); always avoid committing any of the 7 cardinal sins (another with Catholic origins); And my personal favorite: a bird, the lovely and flamboyant Northern Cardinal • My blip is the male who is always handsomely dressed in his own red robe. He’s much more visible this time of year with the absence of leaves on the trees, and soon, with snow as a backdrop. His Mrs. is just as beautiful but in a different way, and the two mate for life. Ahhhh :)
