An Owl Gained

    “I saw your owl the other day,”  my brother John said.  And with that statement, I have gained an owl by virtue of first sighting.

    To me, owls have always been grand, exotic creatures.  C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowling immortalized owls with their wise, funny, sometimes unpredictable traits.  When I saw the owl in the tree last week, all of those associations formed a connection to him.  (Her?)

    It’s nice to know I have an owl in the backyard, and I hope to see him (her?) again.
