Saturday afternoon

~complete with a dish of cracked corn

Saw an owl late last night as I was bringing some things in from the clotheslines.  Just glanced over toward the wood fence at the street, thinking the boys were home from the restaurant. Instead I saw the owl swoop from the ground up to the oak next door.  Large, white, wingspan about 30" or so. Beautiful, and didn't make a sound.  We'd been hearing it this week, and have been keeping an eye on the Pugs when they'd be out.  I realize a 20lb. Pug is an unlikely dinner, but you do hear tales about birds of prey attempting to grab small animals.

I love stuff like that.

Well, not the swooping down and getting Pugs part, but the owl part.  You understand. :)

Going to attempt rearranging the living room when I get up from my rest.  Or put books on the new shelf Gary made for me at the shop---something creative and productive at the same time. And then after dinner, hoping to talk Gary into taking me to church to arrange the flowers for the altar.  Thinking a coffee or something would qualify it for a mini date.  Thinking that way.  We'll see how that flies.

And just enjoying the day.  Oldest daughter took me out to lunch, and we got the flowers at Fresh Market, then came back.  Refreshment to get out for a change of scenery.  As they say, "A change is as good as a rest."

What with having chicken time with breakfast outside this morning before it rained, it's been a pretty peachy day.
