OWL

Last night before going to bed I peaked out the window and the trees were covered with a fluffy layer of snow. So this morning I had hopes of going out to take some lovely snow pictures, but unfortunately by the time we could head out the snow had melted off the tree branches and then it was rainy and foggy the rest of the day. Bummer.

So this is a very bad photo of a very nice owl that I got for Christmas. Bea notices the owl almost every night on her way to bed. After she brushes her teeth we walk out of my bedroom and there the owl hangs above my door. She looks up and says something that only she understands. And sometimes she’ll reach her hand out as if she could touch the owl. And I stop to say “oh yes there’s our owl – what does the owl say? – whoooo whooooo”. And she grins like she has a special secret. And then we go to her room and I lay her down and tell her night night.
