Amazing what you can learn from taking a break and reading.
1. Not every Model T was black.
For the first few years of production, Ford’s famous car came in gray, green, blue, and red. It was only after 1914 that customers could order “any color so long as it is black,” as the dark paint dried faster than other hues.
2. You can major in wine at Cornell University.
Technically it’s a degree in Viticulture and Enology (a.k.a. the cultivation of grapes and the science of winemaking), but we’re still sending in our application.
3. The Northern cardinal is the most popular state bird. (One of my favorite birds)
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia all picked it as their favorite species. The western meadowlark takes second place as the honoree in six other states.

One of the pictures lost when my Uncles computer died was my grandfather standing next to his first car (a Model T).
Cardinals are amazing (and the picture you choose was perfect) they are without a doubt my favorite bird.
I saw a female cardinal yesterday but didn’t see if she was nesting.
Oh wow that would have been so priceless, but at least you saw it, even if the photo itself is lost, the memory is not.
The cardinals are staying together in my yard. Another nest in the works perhaps.
that is awesome – love watching them pop around!
They are very private, I have to be sneaky to track down their nests.
yes they are very much so – the females are the hardest to track!
That is a smart trait they have, their survival instinct.
Very interesting facts once again! Cardinals are gorgeous birds, I am not surprised that they are so loved.
Thanks Ellie. I have a pair of cardinals in my yard. I found one nest of babies earlier and now they seem to be nesting somewhere again.
That’s wonderful, I am sure they add color to the garden.
They do but they stay mostly in the shadows, very private birds.
Very interesting facts. Especially the first. I didn’t know black dries faster.
I did not know these either.
