I stumbled out of bed about 7 am Saturday morning to get a drink of water out of the kitchen. I had no intentions of staying up. The kids were still asleep and it was COLD outside. Indeed, my nice warm bed beckoned loudly and that's exactly where I was headed when I noticed him. On my way back down the hallway, I noticed a quite unexpected guest on my front porch. It was an owl. I know country folk might not be that excited about my discovery, but this was a real treasure for a kid from the suburbs. My husband thought I was an absolute nutter (to borrow a term from our British friends), but I was thrilled to get an up close and personal view of this Destroyer of Mice. I was only about three feet away from this amazing creature when I took this photo. Just another little moment that I'm glad I didn't miss.
