WOOT, WOOT!

If you look really close in these trees you might be able to spot

a Great Horned Owl.  We have a pair that have decided to nest in a cotton wood tree just

across the road from our house.  I can watch them from my kitchen window

and I love hearing them talk with one another and try to imagine what they

must be saying about me when I walk outside to do the chores and the

Woot, Woot, Wooting gets louder.

This picture is down our road, and it was such a pretty night. Too bad I'm not

a great photographer.  This was so much prettier in real life.

Our cat "ROBOT" was a little jealous that the birds were getting all of the attention

so,  I had to snap a shot of her as well.  She gave me a satisfied smile afterwards.

Cats?? Ya gotta love them, especially her she is a Great Mouser.  At the end of the summer we

started having a mouse problem, they apparently had a productive summer.  One evening

as I went to feed the chickens I got a jumping mouse surprise, as I took the lid off the Chicken Scratch

there they were.  All 14 of them had gotten in the feed can but none of them could get out.  I didn't want to kill them myself and I didn't want to scoop them out either, so I stuck "Robot" in.  She ate every single one.  It was over in less than a half an hour and it was entertaining for the kids(and me).

I don't think she ate for 2 days after that.
