Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,
I was working in the yard a few days ago and needed something from the garage. I realized someone was watching me.
I went in and out of the garage for hours, grabbing various tools and then putting them away. He was always there. I got as close to him as I dared. His name is Buddy. We chatted. Penelope and Princess accepted his gentle presence without question or barking.
In the early post-Daylight Saving Time darkness, I bade him good night.
He wasn't there in the morning and hasn't returned, but I left the door open for him.
You are always welcome here, Buddy.
Infinities of love,
Janie Junebug
Buddy would'a scared the shiz out of me at first! But then, yeah, I'd leave the light on for him.

I was surprised when I sensed movement and looked up to see him. It was a helluvalot better than seeing a rat.
DeleteSo wonderful! Glad you got photos of Buddy's visit!
ReplyDeleteHe cooperated and held still.
DeleteWhat a wonderful friend to make.
ReplyDeleteHe was so sweet.
DeleteAwww! What a sweet owl! :) :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice guy and not too big.
DeleteHow cute! I hope he returns.
ReplyDeleteSo do I but it's been a week and no sign of him.
DeleteSo cool! So amazing! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHe surprised me.
DeleteHow exciting!
ReplyDeleteI was pleased to see him.

ReplyDeleteDouble the excitement.
DeleteThat is a great photo of Buddy. I wonder if he'll ever return. Hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI read about owl boxes. I'd like to put one out, but it's not something I can manage now.
DeleteOh that's wonderful! How amazing.
ReplyDeleteHe was a good listener.
DeleteI so want to have owls at the farm when we move out there. You are lucky. I hope Buddy returns!
ReplyDeleteHi Janie - he looks like a pointy-eared owl ... lucky you and I do hope he returns ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHow cool! A wild encounter!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! Owls are the best listeners. I hope Buddy comes back.
