For owls that are superb.

About 1 second after this photo was taken this morning, 2 things were learned:

  1. Owlet learned he could not fly!

  2. I learned Owlets can swim!

Its flight lasted about 5 feet and SPLASH...right in the middle of the river! It just kind of was a blob in the water. I am thinking to myself...OH NO am going to have to go on a rescue mission! After a few seconds it started using its wings to paddle itself through the water. However, instead of going to the opposite bank it came back to where it took off, but a little more wet!

Well dealing with those things is just part of what makes you superb!

All these fun things I share are always here to brighten up your day when you need them.

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all
