Thank goodness for blue jays.

Project 365 * 4
Day 511

 The snake below first visited our yard yesterday, and within a few minutes of it slithering through the yard, the blue jay started going crazy. It would fly wherever the snake went, and make a loud screech. I mean it followed the snake for hours. And today, he was back at it. Whenever the blue jay was, we knew the snake was there. And sure enough, when the blue jay flew into our yard and started screeching, there was the snake. It was really amazing. 

     Thankful for a good day with family. Thankful for pools in the backyard. Thankful for hamburgers and hot dogs. And bbq chicken. And ice cream with strawberries. Thankful for days spent entirely outside. Thankful for blue jays. Never knew one could be so helpful. Thankful that our snake visitor was just a harmless black rat snake. Thankful that he didn't really bother us too much. Thankful for time spent with those I love.
