Cecily Strong Instagram – What a year it’s been and birthdays are even more “whatever” than normal right now but they also feel pretty lucky to have, right? This morning I woke up to these big birds in my yard and laughed that the turkeys came to say hello. But then I saw the crest on the heads and kept googling to find out what turkeys have balls on their heads at 8am while sleepy in bed so there’s that image for you. After an extensive 15 minutes of half asleep internet “research”, I’m pretty sure these are peacocks. Kevin took a photo of the prints in the snow and we are even more convinced now. I’ve never seen them before outside of a zoo and I’m pretty sure they aren’t supposed to live here. I texted Leda and she said “if that ain’t a birthday gift I don’t know what is… of course O’s love language is birds on your birthday”. Then she sent me a picture of us on one of the last nights out in New York, the day the world lost Kobe and he was honored by the players and fans during the Knicks game that night at MSG. It was not the easiest for either of us that night but definitely not for my little Leda, who wasn’t sure if she was ready to head to our seats for the tribute (also thank you to MSG for those seats!!!) But she did and we hugged and cried and what a gift to be able to hug each other and not worry about being the only people standing at that particular moment the photo was taken. And you can’t fall when you are flanked by two wonderful people- sweet Petey D and Leda’s amazing friend Rachel @k0kestagram That’s a great gift any day, but I’ll take it even more today on this day that I’m lucky to get 💙💙💙 ***also if anyone knows if there’s a good animal control that I should be calling, let me know. It’s not at all the point of what I’m sharing but I am pretty sure these birds need to be somewhere warm for winter
