Last night as I was pulling into my driveway, I looked up and saw an owl sitting right in front of me on my fence. Just sitting there, chillin'. I didn't think fast enough though because after I finished staring at him I reached for my camera but not in time. He flew away. I live in a city so I find this to be very strange. Although I have never seen an owl up close and personal like that, I always imagined that they live in forests. And occasionally offer advice to Tigger and Pooh. OK, at least the forest/wooded area seems realistic. Maybe this was a chic and sophisticated owl. He was very wise. I could just tell. I spent the rest of the evening making owl "who who" sounds to the puppy. She thinks I'm silly.

So I ran inside to quickly get the preppy puppy for our evening walk because....drumroll please.....it was STILL LIGHT OUTSIDE! I know, it's big, huge news! Having our clocks spring foreword has made the biggest difference for me this year. It's better than Prozac - just makes me so so happy to have it light outside when I am walking the dog at night. We took our long walk route and saw the first squirrel of the season. She was sooooo excited to have a little squirrel chase in the park. Nothing is more fun than chasing squirrels!

Ah, life is good at the PPC household. And I welcome my wise friend Mr. Owl to come back - at least long enough for me to take a picture of an owl hanging out on my fence in a city.
