Word of the Day:
susurration \soo-suh-RAY-shun\, noun:
A whispering sound; a soft murmur.
Yesterday, my Starbucks ran out of the mix to make my carmel frappuchino. So I ordered a mocha. And then, they were out of venti cups, so they gave me two mochas.
Now, that's a nice pair!
Once again, pulled off a killer pizza!
"You talkin' to me???"
(This is a stuffed GHO at RAPTOR)
My Mom is back from Alabama after a week down there. We were watching her dog, Bailey, and we took her back today. She's such a nice, SMALL dog.
Boomer update:
A foster home has become available and he will be going to it this week.
*heavy sigh*
One of Mom's chickadees. She has a blue million of them. It's impossible to count all of the little flying blurs.
How's this for a shot that I thought was a throwaway?
I caught him just as he was jumping off the feeder into the air!

More on the OOS Owl Symposium:
I learned so much about owls this weekend. My programs are going to be turned up to a new level from now on. I feel like I was in kindergarten at the beginning of the symposium, but now I feel like I have graduated to the sixth grade. There were PowerPoint shows, with pictures of the entire digestive system of an owl (did you know that they have a two-chambered stomach? That's how they make pellets)
I got to meet a lot of people who were only names until Saturday. For example:
I met Shila, as in very good friend of Julie and Bill's. She showed up at my table and waved. I squinted to see her name tag, and I was like "Hey! Shila!". She is sunshine with a camera.
I bought a matted photograph of a baby screech owl from a woman who, it turns out, was a RAPTOR board member back in the 80's.
The world of birding in Ohio is a small one.

Susan, I'm glad you have been inpired to another level after the symposium. Sounds very exciting for you!
ReplyDeleteI skipped dinner today and I'm yearning for that Pizza!!!!
Here's a susurration for you..."Hope Boomer finds a forever home." :o)
Blue Million???? Wish I was at that symposium.
ReplyDeleteI love symposiums for inspiration and for turning up whatever it is you're doing a notch or two.
ReplyDeleteYour pizza looks good again! I have no idea what all those Starbucks words are - I don't drink coffee or whatever it is! But it does look like quite a pair!
Poor Boomer, well at least he'll be taken care of, right?
Blue million - never heard that term!
Beautiful sunset!
P.S. I asked one of my guy friends about the bite me thing and he said it was the same thing you did. I asked him why he wanted someone to bite his ahem. As in, wouldn't that freakin' hurt?
Sounds like a blast. It's such a thrill to learn new things about something you really love.
ReplyDeleteBoomer will be all right. HUGx10
"...a nice pair!" And whipped cream.
ReplyDeleteSwami must go find Swamette!!
