Yesterday we discovered that we have a family of cardinals living in a tall shrub at the corner of my house right by our deck. We snuck over to peak yesterday, and the mom flew out of it. She was PISSED!!! We saw where the nest was and Kev saw at least two babies. Momma' was squawking at us the whole time.
So now I not only have the hummingbirds, I have this little fam. They are much harder to stalk than the hummers. I did manage to get some pretty awesome pics of the mom and dad, though. Damn, they are purdy!!
Maybe that red cardinal was in my head last night when I picked my nail color. Totes not true. Kev had to leave for work this morning and get up at 3:30 a.m. and decided to sleep in the spare bedroom so the dogs wouldn't keep him awake. Right after he went in there, it dawned on me that all my nail stuff was in there! Whoa, hubster!! I need to grab some stuff real quick!! I grabbed a few things without giving it much thought, and this is what I ended up with.
Sorry for all the pics, but it's just so gorg I had to. It's my first Jade polish. I've been wanting some for the longest time but never bought. When I bought my new LeaLac stamping plates, I decided to grab a few polishes. I've really wanted a nice red holo; mission accomplished. This is Vermelho Surreal. I wanted to stamp on it without ruining the effect, so I just did my Essie Good as Gold with my LLC-B plate.
It looked really good all day. And now it has black paint in several spots because I'm still working on the bathroom. I should have that part of the work done this weekend.
But for now, I'm off to eat a filet and some french fries. Cuz' I'm starving!!
Beautiful! I have cardinals at my house too this year the first I have ever seen so it must be a good year! Mamcita :)
