Mother Nature Items

Awwww......Eddie from our maintenance department found another dead owl out on the golf course.  This time it is a beautiful barn owl that met its demise.  No wonder these birds can fly so silently as their feathers are so very very soft....especially along the top inside edge of the wings.  I did some research and found that little barn owls like this only have a life expectancy of 1-2 years so he may well have passed due to natural causes.

The flowers up by the 4-way stop are absolutely stunning right now.  Thank you to the landscapers and our volunteer deadheaders for helping with this lovely showcase of flowers.
