The gift of logging from Meagan and James

Southern Comfort

 Enjoyed a visit with Liz, John, Robin and Nate.

This has been an interesting week for my love of nature.

A Swainsons Hawk was sitting on the railing of the deck.

During the night a coyote chorale both excited and frightened me.
It was so loud I thought it might be on the deck. It was at least 3, maybe 4.

A few nights ago I heard a bird singing a five note song.
I listened to the song during the night.trying to identify the bird.
By morning I was a little suspicious that a bird would repeat the song 
at equal intervals all night.
It was the smoke alarm in the kitchen!!!!!!!

About my Birthday

First of all......thanks mom.
Enjoyed my birthday. Heard from all the children which always makes me happy.
John and Kristin treated me to dinner. Delicious. The topper was hearing the owls when I was in bed.
Love that sound.
Looking forward to tomorrow when Liz will drive Betty and me to Seattle to see June and Roger.

Steve and family were not able to attend the family picnic so we had a mini one yesterday.
