A windy feeder band with embedded storms is heading my way. Thankfully I was able to feed my crows during a lull in the weather. They are coming as close a three feet now!
Two crows eat peanuts in my front yard.

Day 3 of ??
Still life at the hospital: a window revealing clouds against a pale blue sky, underneath a pair of feet propped on a vinyl sofa and tables holding a foam cup and breathing exercise apparatus. Behind the table a tote bag from the Onion and a black backpack, suggesting future attempts at remote work.

A bigass hawk just flew out of the fog and landed on my balcony railing. It was looking at my cat through the window, which is funny considering my cat is a feisty chonk who might have made a meal of him.

This took my breath away. It’s from the 2013 novel, The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure
A highlighted book passage reads, 
"And there was supposed to be an arch so goddamned big that the Are de Triomphe could've fit inside its opening.
Good thing the war came, and it didn't get built. Speer and the Fuehrer had a little problem with scale."

If you zoom in, you can see a little, extended claw on her outstretched paw. Her facial expression indicates that she’s had enough of my bs.
