Two Owls

We were enjoying watching the young owl around the house. When I came home today there were two! We suspect they are this years hatch and not very old. They like our yard and likely our rabbits which we have not seen since the owls showed up. The squirrels seem more on edge too.

Whoooo is that mask bird?

This is the same Owl that Laura put in her Blog. Last night as I looked out just before going to bed I saw the owl on the TV antenna on the garage. We have seen the owl for the last two days around here. I think it is recently from the nest because the chest feathers look like down. I may be wrong because I don't know much about owls. Any body know what kind of Owl? Catherine? The squirrels were raising a lot of cane this morning and I thought I heard something on the roof. I think it was the owl because later in the day when Laura and Jeff came home they saw it on the garage roof and it flew to a tree where Laura got her picture. Laura is right. Those rabbits had better run for cover!

Hey Jennifer...........

I'll see your three strawberries from last Wednesday and and raise you smoked salmon. It came out pretty good. If I can get some canned you will have some too! I fired up the smoker this weekend and even tried a little halibut with the salmon. The jury is still out on the Halibut but I think that recipe will take some more trials. It's OK but I want to include some Ranch dressing with it. Everything is good with Ranch Dressing. (possibly even Liver!)

Hope's Graduation

Way back in May on Mother's Day I took this video. I have tried to put it together several times since then. I have not been very successful until tonight. Sorry this took so long.

Nap time with Grandma

We are enjoying our time wit Laura and Jeff and or course time with Ada too. Patsy is taking advantage of the morning nap to hold Ada.

The Adventure Begins.

Hope and Brian left for Iowa this morning. Their dogs Dawson and Mattie were excited to take a ride too but I bet they will be wondering "are we there yet?" by tonight. They had to pack carefully to fill the 8X20 trailer. We will see them in late July or early August.

Ada brought her folks up for a visit.

Ada and I went for a walk this afternoon. She brought Mom and dad along too. Patsy and I are glad to have a visit from the three of them.
