Inspired by a new family favourite, Owl Moon, we went out owling on New Year's Eve day. We found other beautiful things along the way.
We found some lingering snow hiding in the forest.
We had listened to some owl calls that morning. So we found our owl voices too.
To the delight of all of us, especially our owl-loving son, we did see an owl on our way home. This was by sheer luck, and the fact that a group of birds were harassing it. As Miles will tell you with hand gestures, it swooped "right" by his head. I think that we also found a fun new New Years Day tradition.
We've been saving the Halloween M&Ms for such an occcasion. We made Owl Hoot cookies to complete the adventure!
New Years Fondue! YUM!
Happy 2009!
