Falling Down Heights, my daily life

Wind, are the monsters still lurking out there?

Dunno, I refuse to go out when it's dark now! And I get really skittish whenever I have to put the dog out at night, but he hasn't started barking at anything.

Glad you are ok! Stay safe out there!!

I know that skittish feeling. I get it during the winter out at my place. Every year, once it's dark early, it feels like I'm being watched when I put the birds away at night.

There's more out there than we know, or want to know! Whether it's lurking predators or something more ephemeral and spiritual.

Two less ducks to feed. Still have seven more to do, but they don't eat as much as they are the free-ranging extra drakes. I pen them up at night so they're a bit more protected as well as easier to catch when their turn comes. Figure I'll do two a day until it's done.

Next few days until Tuesday are going to be cold.

I'm like 80% sure it's something more spiritual. It very possibly could just be a fox or coyote, but the feeling I get is less 'small predator watching' and more 'There's something stalking me'. But we also have mountain lions, so it honestly could be that too. Yay...

Thank goodness I haven't seen/heard mountain lions around here!

Spookiest thing I heard here (and it actually woke me in the middle of the night!) was this screech loud enough to wake the dead! It was something flying too. Listened for hours to sounds of birds on youtube but never identified it.

We also have Great Horned Owls, and those are cool to listen to.

Last year a whippoorwill would sing every evening from the nearby trees for about two weeks. THAT was something!

Do you have Screech Owls up there? They scream loud, sounds like someone is being murdered.

First thing I thought of! But nope, wasn't that!
