or … “Hark! Who goes there!”
Seriously, there is a little owl living right outside the window of my new space. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an owl — except at the zoo — until now. And now I get to see one every day. Isn’t he cute? My kids named him “Fluffy.” Fluffy the owl. Seemed fun until we realized that owls don’t eat bird seed … nope, small living things like rodents. Too bad they don’t eat really big spiders. Then I could just take him with me on my organizing gigs.
So it’s occurring to me that this creative organizing blog has become a bit of “Aby’s-run-ins-with-nature” lately. Guess that’s the thing about a blog … you just never know what you’re going to be compelled to share. And lately, there’s just been a lot of nature on my mind. Oh yes, update on the ice storm: it missed us. Whew! We’re feeling very lucky.
So enough about nature … creative organizing ideas coming soon. In the meantime, if you’re in a pinch, check out my newsletter that I sent out earlier this week. In it I share success strategies for making change in your home and life, as well as ideas on organizing paperwork.
Alright … have a happy Friday!
Fluffy is pretty fabulous. I like him — just think about what little crawly things WON’T come in the house while he’s there to munch them.
Oh, and for your blog readers: if you don’t have the Happy Scrapper, get it!! Great book, great ideas! Worth more than half price. And Aby doesn’t know I’m posting this…..
ooo, having an owl around is better than having a cat around!! We used to have this big wooded lot and in the area were three owls, we NEVER had any mice problems, while we had neighbors at the other end of the subdivision who did.
My daughter would LOVE to see this owl in person. She is crazy for owls. We have a Great Horned Owl in a tall cedar tree in our back yard who calls at night, and even in the dead of winter my daughter insists on keeping the window open so she can “talk” to him. They hoot back and forth for hours past her bedtime. Try as we might, we’ve never seen him, though. The cedar tree is lush and green year round, and about 6 stories tall, so he’s always out of our view.
Great picture! I have two Great horned owls that sit on my roof everynight. We have a large field that they must be spotting for meals. The female, MUCH smaller, doesn’t hoot much……..but when BIG BOY is up there………wow….it rattles. I went out side just last night with a big spot light to check them out….sooooo cool! Huge wing span when HE flew off….which scared me a bit!
I think I will just stay indoors and listen.
