Staying at a friend's house and found a deck. I decided to draw a few cards. Love this draw -

I am visiting my home town to celebrate my brother's birthday and the next few days are going to be filled with good times with people I love 🥰

Since I work in clinical research this is concerning, but it goes way beyond fear for my own job.

New bird species spotted at the pond today! First time seeing Tree Swallows in the winter. There were about 20 of these guys flying near the surface of the water. Today they shared the pond with mergansers and a blue heron - next time I'll bring the camera
