Life on the farm.

The other night, Alex's sister, Anne, and I came home to this:



Actually, there were four of them, a whole parliament, sitting there on my trampoline. Ellie theorizes they came to jump.

I forgot to mention this photo is not the actual owl I saw, but a picture of a different barn owl and was found at the following website: https://mrsdycksclass.wikispaces.com/Owls?f=print

Wow. Four?! That's awesome. Owls always remind me of the scary one on The Secret of Nymh.

Wow. That is awesome. I have always wanted to see an owl in the wild. I wish we could see your new house, I'm sure you are loving the space.

Jumping is the logical explanation. What else would they be there for? But did you find any pellets?

I was so impressed with the photo when I thought you had taken it!

You'll have to call us if they ever come back.

There used to be a kid in our ward who looked just like that owl. But there was just the one guy, not what you could call a parliament of them.
