It's raining. It's boring. Yet the Blue Jay with their hawk-like- like sound Swooped down from a high branch to take a freshly roasted shelled nut Thirty seconds later another appeared and grabbed another nut. Their crests and colors of blue, white, and black were visible in the rain. Not a bad way to walk on a Holy day where fasting and no driving happen once a year Before you utter a sound the computer and other modern-day conveniences are essential to my well-being such as walking So thanks Blue Jays for making this Yom Kippur easier
