My mother has gone into hospice seems she had a brain tumor which she didn't tell me about since she was 80! 

So sorry, Albert.

I went to visit my friend Jesse earlier today, and I brought Max with me. The sky was mostly clouded gray, but there was a hint of blush left from the sunrise. As we approached Jesse's family farm, I noticed the full moon floating above the trees like a bright pearl. After we got out of the car, I heard a loud, harsh trill, which was followed by a barn owl in swift flight through the trees.

I'm so sorry. We will pray for the best for all concerned.

What?!?!?!?!?  Clearly the doctor needs to check your head too  How is she a better option than me?!

You my dear are far too busy with studies and such for me to ask that you take on such a burden.

@Valkyrie is willing to grant me this favor in response to my past care of her herd. Something about payback.

Talked to @Marty today over a comment he left on a story, so he is still alive and well. Thought you guys would like to know.

It really was. Max was excited; I don't think he'd ever seen a live owl before.

Songs of Disappearance, an album of frog calls, debuts at third behind Paul Kelly and Taylor Swift on the ARIA charts

The Australian Music Charts have done it again! Last year it was bird songs and this year we are buying frog calls. Debuts at number 3. Awesome!

For context, the house is built in a L shape, in 2 parts and only one is heated (yes just heated, there'sno insulation). The part with the bathroom, toilet ans some kind of back kitchen is not. The house did not have any modifications/upgrades since my grandpa built it overtime in the early 50'... 

So yes, to go to the toilets in winter you have to prep yourself mentally and dress to face to freezing cold

I wrote a poem about my first ever encounter with a snowy owl at dawn...
