Owl Sightings

Look what Sue at Sullivan and  Murphy and I found at White Cottage in Newark.  (You thought I meant Newark, NJ. didn't you?  No it's in OHIO)

Isn't this little owl the cutest.  Speaking of cutest, go see Sue's post today.  She has a good camera.  Check out her brushes as well.

Well I was afraid the little guy would fly away so I put him under glass.  I know it's a cloche.  She talked me into buying one at the Rural Society Sale.  I don't even know how to pronounce cloche.  But I really like it.  I just put the little critter under there for fun but loved it there.

I have had this owl for a long time.  I told Charlene of Organized Clutterhttp://organizedclutterqueen.blogspot.com/  I would post this as she has one similar.  Tomorrow we will talk about bats so be prepared.

I took some beautiful fall pictures for you today.  I actually stopped the car and got out.  I think taking them out the window was a bit safer.  Almost got run over by a highway patrolman.
I decided that today was the day.  After our windstorm on Sunday I was surprised that the leaves were still on the trees.  I decided the leaves will most likely be on the ground when I return from Colorado.
Sorry this post is headed toward something sad.  I am leaving on Saturday.....and I can't wait.  I wish I could be there this week.  My kids seem to always have jobs that bring them right into sadness that happens there.  My daughter had to counsel the children that went to school with the little girl that went missing.  If that wasn't enough she was with the teachers including the girl's teacher when the police came to tell them her body had been identified.  And without saying how, my son was also involved and still is.  This all happened so close to where my kids and grandkids live.  Very close.  Parents and grandparents watch your children closely, don't take your eyes off of them.  Give them lots and lots of ((((((HUGS)))))
