Look What Unexpectedly Showed Up At My Door! (Patreon)

I have to tell the story. It was weird.
Saturday I was sitting on the couch with my computer in my lap when something heavy hit the side of the house. What the?! I ran outside to see a postal delivery guy walking toward me. Odd. I gave him the once over, but it didn't look like he did it. The direction was all wrong. But also, hang on, I didn't order anything. What's that about? So I signed for the package, then went and checked the side of the house thoroughly. Nothing out of the ordinary there. I came in and put the package on the kitchen table and ran upstairs to the veranda. There the female crow was sitting on the the neighbor's roof looking at me. Aha.Was that you? She ruffled her feathers. This is where my deep south kicks in and I say, Bless your heart! See, there are a pair of crows who visit daily (more on that later), but the female just has the worst timing ever. Like I get it. I'm kind of that way and I know people who are even more that way. Always the timing is just a little off.As for the crow (Sweetpea), there have been three times where I went upstairs to hang out laundry or run into the bedroom to grab a book and at the EXACT SAME moment she was swooping in to check the bowl I leave on the air conditioner unit for peanuts. So we scare each other.
The male crow (Gobbler) is bigger, a bit of a derp, and not shy at all. He'll fly in when I'm close enough to touch him. But she's so skittish and careful and observant, yet still, her timing is just awful. I've seen her make very sloppy mid flight u-turns when we accidentally run into each other. So my theory is she was flying in to check for nuts, the postal dude got out of his truck and was walking toward the house and maybe distracted her...so she hit the house??!! Poor thing 😭 She's fine, though. I saw yesterday and today and she's acting fine. A bit of a headache, no doubt.
So anyway, I leave some peanuts for her because poor little bug had a flying accident and deserves some comfort food, then I hop on downstairs to tackle the second mystery! What's in the package!?
I'll show you what was in the package! I wasn't expecting this. 👀
