Can't seem to get my blog to show the correct date order... it's aggravating.

Went to my new friends, Patty and Mark's 25th wedding anniversary last night.  It was fun, good eats, music (Patty sang, Celine Dion's "Because you Loved Me", her heart out to Mark - very romantic), and got to meet more people.  Before we left, Mark gave Janina and me each a lovely vase of flowers. :-)

Saw my first yellow-headed blackbirds on the way home.  Dusk was settling in, and they were getting ready to bed down, but still...  there they were.  We parked by the edge of the marsh and listened to bird calls -Pretty awsome! 

...and before we got home Mike drove us through the local cemetary where we saw several large owls.  Things just keep getting better and better!

The cemetary here is well over a hundred years old.  The oldest date I found was 1879, but I've been told there are older markers.  Found a marker from 1980, a little girl not even a year old... meditate on the resurection.  Think about the poor mother (and father too) and when she is resurected her joy when her little girl is returned to her.  I find old cemetaries thoughtful places where I can be at peace.  Old trees and wildlife undisturbed... (I forgot to mention, there were also five deer at the cemetary last night - reminds me a bit of the Pacific Grove cemetary).

Well, that's it for now... does anyone know how to get a blog into proper date order?
