Blue Wednesday

In old African-American folklore of the southern United States the Blue Jay was held to be a servant of the Devil, and "was not encountered on a Friday as he was fetching sticks down to Hell; furthermore, he was so happy and chirpy on a Saturday as he was relieved to return from Hell".

This Wednesday morning we woke up to 12.2F or -11C. Can't say the day has warmed up much since then. Perhaps this Blue Jay might be looking forward to Friday's trip afterall...
