First Dinu has a Barred owl in his backyard and now you have one as well. Could it be the same owl? An owl that makes house calls! How exciting. Have I got this all wrong? Is The Backyard the name of an actual place? You know, like a pub, or a cafe, except in this case a special park with a lot going on.
Alas, I guess the owl only visits certain neighbourhoods. I haven't seen a flycatcher for a long time. At this time of year there are some juicy dragonflies but not much else. Your scheme to venture forth with no expectations is working well. For me it is par for the course. I'll tell you what, I shall gladly accept expectations of substance on your behalf. In other words, I shall carry the burden of expectation on your behalf. There, I've said it. I'll expect great things from you. Somebody had to say it.There I go again, volunteering. Never volunteer for anything! Didn't somebody famous say that? I'm so confused.
