A BLACK-HEADED RED BIRD???
A friend mentioned having seen a red bird with a black head and said it looked like a cardinal. I have been feeding and watching birds for a long time and I have never seen such a bird. So I turned to my trusty computer (one of my favorite things about the www) and got the info I was searching for:
We were just been visited by a bright red bird with a red/orange bill and a black head. It looks like a cardinal, about the same size, but it's definitely not--it's a brighter red, and the head is black and not crested. Do you know what it is?
Your bird is a male northern cardinal with parasite problems, which is very common among cardinals. The head feathers fall out, and the skin beneath is dark. The feathers will grow back, and the cardinal will survive. Many people are asking the same question about this strange-looking bird.
So don't miss the video below...watch a "black-headed cardinal" feed the fish! For Real!!

EMPOWERING ALL PEOPLE
One in every five Americans is affected by a disability. This means that approximately 54 million people in the U.S. alone are working everyday to gain greater independence and create new possibilities for themselves.
Within the United States, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has done much to eliminate the barriers and discrimination people with disabilities have faced for so long. Yet, about three quarters of adults with disabilities are unemployed--even though most would prefer to be working. And, internet access for people with disabilities is about half of what it is for those without disabilities.
Clearly there is still a lot of work to be done if we want people with disabilities to be truly empowered! Please join BloggersUnite in supporting people with disabilities and the groups who work to empower them by raising awareness. Let people know that despite major gains more needs to be done to ensure that people with disabilities enjoy the same access to resources and opportunities as those without disabilities.
Getting involved is easy. So act now!

A GENTLE REMINDER...
When you arise in the morning,
give thanks for the morning light.
Give thanks for your life and your strength.
Give thanks for your food
and give thanks for the joy in living.
And if you see no reason for giving thanks,
rest assured that the fault is in yourself.
~Chief Tecumseh

RINGING IN THE VALLEY...
Bluegrass time has arrived in the valley of East Tennessee, held at the Nine Mile Volunteer Fire Dept. The first of four to be held this summer and fall. It was a beautiful, albeit a cool and windy day. Blue skies and green mountains surrounded the Sequatchie Valley. The sounds of the mountains and the valleys rang out for several days as campers and locals gather for good music, good food and great fellowship. Enjoy the slide show and look for the next festival to be held in June. (Please note when you click on slideshow it will offer you the opportunity to enlarge the screen, please do, I had to pay for that!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR FRIEND...
are faithful and generous friends with a great capacity for affection . In the main, they are gentle, even tempered, good natured, modest and slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding ill-feeling. If they are provoked, however, they can
"explode" into violent outbursts of ferocious anger in which they seem to lose all self-control. Equally strong, however are their occasional sallies into humor and exhibitions of fun. That which we love the most about you!
Love you, Girlfirend

DON'T MISS THE LIGHT SHOW...
In the pre-dawn hours of April 22 (1:00 - 3:00 am), be sure to look up. If you do, you'll likely be treated to a spectacular celestial show in the form of the Lyrids meteor shower.
Why bother to wake up at an ungodly hour to gaze at the sky? Several reasons. First, the Lyrids shower was, according to Meteor Showers Online, first observed at least 2,600 years ago, making it the oldest of any meteor shower. Secondly, viewers have a small chance "to get a glimpse of some dazzling fireball meteors from a completely different meteor swarm."
