"Whoooo! Who, who, whooooo!"
In the drizzly night, the sound seemed to come from right in front of me, but I thought he might be in a palm tree about a block away. I called Jane because truth be told, that whooooo sound was unnerving, and if as I suspected, he was a Great Horned Owl, he would be big enough to take one of my chihuahuas. She brought the binoculars. :)
He did a bit more hooting, then he took flight, from the palm tree, silently swooping down to a smaller tree. And there he sat in silhouette, his ear tufts prominent enough for identification. He was a big boy, or she was a big girl. :)
The dogs finally did what doggies must do outside, and we all trooped back inside. But the memory of that beautiful owl stayed with me until I fell asleep.
OH, and yes, this post is coming from Ironwood Cancer & Research Center, where I am getting my Benadryl. Please note, I am wearing Jingle Bells in my ears.
And I am wooooooooooozy, so that's it for this post. No word yet on the results of the echo of yesterday.
Love to all, and please, PEACE on Earth. :)
Oh yes, please let there be peace on Earth, it is not that impossible, just put a bunch of women in charge of things. Hey presto, all the wars would be stopped.
ReplyDeleteLove the jingle bells sweetie, gotta have a sense of humour when dealing with this stuff.
I hope santa brings you everything you want. Enjoy your Xmas and do not eat too much. We are having a traditional English roast beef dinner with all the stuff that goes along with it, yorkshire puds etc and a few bottles of wine will no doubt be sampled.
Peace to you and your family Tequila and Merry Xmas from us here in freezing PA.

Fay, we have a fireplace here that's not been used since we moved into this house. I'm terrified of fire, for one thing, and of course, the smoke, however well-vented, is a big no-no.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile about your Yorkshire pudding. I made a persimmon pudding from a British recipe, and was interested to see that it's not a pudding at all. :D You know, pudding should be creamy and like Jello pudding... not like a bread or a cake! Hehehe, but it surely was delicious.
Keep warm, and dole out lots of hugs. Here's one from me to you, lady.
Love,
Tequila
