Sasha: “To break in the brown striped bag, or not break in the brown striped bag? That is the comfy question!”

She couldn’t resist

Owlets Banking

After totally clear skies all day yesterday, a few clouds gathered at dusk for the painter to paint.

I walked outside to photograph the moon and got clouds covering the moon. Maybe it will clear up later so I can get the moon.

The owlets were banking on the top of the levee and down on the bank along the clearwater ditch last night. Paul flew up into a tree on the other side of the Clearwater ditch and Mama Owl brought him something to eat and then flew off to go back to Wowlmart as quickly as she flew in. When it was almost dark Mama Owl came back with either a bat or a mouse. She perched close to me just long enough for me to get a photo of her, then she took off at warp speed.
