I am fond of owls, in fact there are some nearby
and late in the night as I ponder my next paragraph
I can hear them tooting :) My study overlooks their
habitat so I am lucky to see them sometimes :)
Have a lovely day Beth and I really
like your owlet picture, very cute :)

Did you know that in our country there was a fad when wealthy teens used a set of language different from the vernacular? They would say, “You make me gigil with you? You can translate this automatically using your post. (laughs)
