It was around midnight, on a deserted country road, and this giant *thing* was in the middle of the road. I slowed down until I was within about 15 feet of it, and then it turned its head and looked at me. DANG. Those big eyes, the pointy head! I sat in awe for a few seconds then reached over and woke up my sleeping brother. We both just sat in amazement until it gathered itself up and flew off. <br /><br />This happened a good 20 years ago, but I'll never forget the face on that bird. I really envy you, getting to hear a couple of them.

It is a wonderful way to begin the week.Starlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075522354027547485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432615092204334311.post-29470903192797985232013-05-13T10:23:37.667-04:002013-05-13T10:23:37.667-04:00I'm thankful that I get to spend time with my ...I'm thankful that I get to spend time with my 87 year-old Mother.tala1947https://www.blogger.com/profile/01362561580934307374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432615092204334311.post-88919567095346781162013-05-13T08:33:07.558-04:002013-05-13T08:33:07.558-04:00Loyal, caring friends like you.Loyal, caring friends like you.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12175485808533410938noreply@blogger.com
