Visions are not complete until they have been set down and stepped away from, turned this way and that in the hand.”

Here is the moon as it looked through my telescope at 3AM this morning. Less than 12 hours earlier, I looked up while I was raking leaves and saw this:

Yes, that’s right: Coconut the Owl has returned to his owl box. I watched him fly off at dusk last night, but there he was again this morning when I woke up.

Looks like he and Mrs. Coconut weren’t lost after all. The drawings worked. My spirit has lifted. We’re so happy to have him back.
