The Owls

These are the mommy and daddy screech owls

These are the three babies

How do YOU feel about owls? Well, here in the Nye household we
like them. A friend of ours told us where we could see

these screech owls and I take a lot of pride in the fact that when we

went to see them I spotted them before

Nate! I think it's because I had Lasik surgery. I love that one on the

right peeking around the leaf...and I am not sure what is going on

with the headless one on the left. If I remember right, they did

all have heads. The whole outing ended with Jansen grabbing some

poison ivy. We poured the rest of his milk from his sippy cup

on it and then ran to the car and rinsed his hand again with

some water. I think that did the trick because he really

didn't develop a rash. Thank goodness! Speaking of the evils

that lurk in the outdoors, I forgot to share that we went

on a walk a few weeks ago and all had a tick or two on our clothes.

I was so horrified. But we're all okay. I am thankful for my husband

who has taught me how to spot poison ivy and ticks. I would not have

been able to do this a month ago.
