For The Love of Owls!

Our house sits on the top of a large, sloping hill.  We live in an older "neighborhood", where many of the homes are on wooded lots.  When I heard a family of owls hooting the other night, it made me think of Fall, cold weather, and growing up in the country.  I've always thought owls to be very mysterious and more special than other birds.  For one thing, they do not come to the bird feeder like everybody else!  They don't chirp and sing.  There are no special flowers or plants you can include in your gardening to attract them.  Owls have been regarded by many cultures over the years, to be birds of wisdom and awe.  That is how they appear to me.
As I was out shopping today, I noticed that owls seem to be very popular!  Both of my daughters, as well as my oldest granddaughter,  love owls.  Owls are everywhere, from bedding, to pillows, on dishcloths and Christmas decorations.  I am sharing some photos of owl goodies I spied today.  These came from World Market.  Enjoy!
