update

The chickens were snake-free again last night and with each day it gets easier putting them to bed. I saw Ralphy earlier today, you always hear him as he sits at our back window singing for some food. I don't see him as much anymore , with two adult kids and one wife he's one busy magpie.

I saw an owl on the road the other day. As I attempted to move it off the road I went quite close to it. It had a really good look at me and I at it. Even when I walked around it, it followed me with its eyes. I got quite close it it, but not too close as its beak looked like it could take off a pinky finger. It looked like a muppet or Furby. It was really cute. After about 5 min of asking it to move on, it finally flew away. It really did look like a muppet.

Robin, the vainest bird in all the land woke me up this morning. For some reason it chose my bedroom window to bask in his/her beauty in the reflection of the glass. I have to get a mirror and put it away from the house.
