The Five O'Clockers

Everyday, between 4:45 and 5:15PM like clockwork, a pair of cardinals visits the sunflower feeder. It has reached the point that we watch for them because we know they will be there. Even when we don't have any other birds for days...those two cardinals show up and dine right outside our living room window. I suggested to Flo that she should name them, and she thought,

"Well, since they fly in everyday at 5 o'clock...I don't know...I guess 'The Five O'Clockers"!

As daylight stays later each evening, this dynamic duo continues to arrive as a sure thing, but the time is a bit more unpredictable.
"Flo, how 'bout giving them actual names. What shall we refer to them as instead of the 'five-o'clockers'?"

Her answer couldn't have been more classic, and she said, "I don't know...Adam and Eve!"

Several days later, I asked her if she had seen our favorite couple yet.

"What did you rename them?"

"Cain and Abel."

"Well, you are in the correct series of books, and quite current in 21st century relationships! In this case, one brown cardinal [Eve] and one red cardinal [Adam] makes them a traditional pair of cardinals...fortunately with the ability produce future finely feathered friends!!

Whew!

And there you have it.
