Yep, garden looking great.

I had a feeling I would see something from you coming in last nite.

had a strange night --- caught up in earnest on the last four VRR's and then had strange thoughts as falling asleep, nothing in particular but not far from current topics, and not unusual when the wife is not home, which was the case.

fully awoke around 1am or so to the loudest owl I've ever heard -- at first thought it was a dog --- the owl was that loud and even so coming though these windows that supposedly block sound. Since the wife is a light sleeper, she likes these windows.

The owl must have been right out side our bedroom at first, moving farther as the night wore on, and as the hooting grew quieter, and seemed to end by around 330am. The general pattern was 'who-whoooo......(pause) who, who' and 'who-whoooo......(pause) who, who, who'

In all my years, never heard an owl anywhere near so loud and clear, especially while indoors.

Wow. You might have just received a message. Look up the type of owls in your area and then go to YouTube and type in the name of the owl and listen to their sounds and identify it.

I really believe it was some type of message. Plan to look this up and let you know what I find. Whatever the sub-species, I am still surprised at just how loud the owl was.

They can adjust it up and down. I've been very close to them and recorded it. Let me know what type of owl it is.

Most undoubtedly a great horned owl. Known to live in this area and the the audio clips on you tube sound exactly like what I heard —- unmistakable

From what you've told me I'd say someone is smiling on you. Enjoy it.

Busy week but popping in here & catching up...couldn’t help but think about the 70’s song “Wildfire” from Michael Martin Murphy:

“By the dark of the moon I planted

But there came an early snow

There's been a hoot owl howlin' by my window now

For six nights in a row

She's coming for me I know

And on Wildfire we're both gonna go”

His owl was hootin’ & howlin’ outside his window for 6 nights in a row....wonder what that means. 🤔

Being from the fictious Nebraska overlay of the continental United States of America and the song lyrics include Nebraska.

I also thought of the same song. I actually saw him @ a Christ mass concert in town I live in. Hell of a singer with his band!.

I wonder what it means to have an owl hooting in through your window? In the summer, I've had an owl hooting through my bedroom over the years. It doesn't bother me and is soothing/is a fall to sleep aid.

I took it as soothing too -- gave some peace of mind, because I was sleeping alone and my mind was wondering after reading thru the last few days VRR's, especially since I recently heard some unexplained clanking noises while trying to fall asleep the last couple weeks. In the past we've had some spirits seemingly in the house that turned off lights and tv's and performed a couple other oddities

Agree. I’ve been recording them for seven years.

I don't want a computer planting my seeds, either.

Some day I'm throwing my computer in my compost bin. I've seen enough, researched enough. Done.

11:11:11…seriously? THAT IS COSMIC. i may only hope to go poof so fortuitously. and, is that a real live raven? if so, super awesome. i’ve always wanted one as a friend, but instead they pick off baby ducks in the spring. stinkers. i do leave all the unhatched eggs out for them, and they all disappear. (me hoping they get a rotten one occasionally). the wind is still unsettled here. i love sitting out at night and feeling the energies. i hope there are enough people aware as to what is really going on to kick these mofo aliens in the ass, and HARD. THE EARTH AMD HUMANITY HAVE HAD ENOUGH.

Seriously. VERY SERIOUSLY, VERY COSMIC. It's not a real raven. I had a pet crow for nine years or she had me as her pet. Probably. I lost her just before 9/11/2016 when I started researching the 9/11 Satanist Alien Memorial show of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Her name was Rex. I miss her everyday. Let's go alien hunting.

Great pictures. No snow on this side yet. Interesting.

I keep forgetting to ask a question. Is "Big Bertha" still stuck in the hole?

Your garden is SUPER COOL SAUCE any season of the year...and your father's hammer (your hammer now!) is way cooler than Thor's Mjolnir :)

Just think the mind and energy that created that marvelous dual purpose tool - manufacturing the tool to make/fix products and self preservation.

Thanks Doria. It got a little damaged in the windstorm. Easily fixable.

A rather dead look in the winter though.

Not dead...just in repose.
