Unexpected Owls

My daughter brings me so much joy. Today she brought that joy with owls. So far, I've found four that she made from a wrapping paper tube. She painted them silver and hid around the house in places I'd find them first thing in the morning.



One was in the medicine chest where I keep my hairbrush, another at the lightswitch to the hall,



one in the cupboard where I'd reach for my mug for coffee, and another on the windowsill next to where I work.



In all, we found eight owls yesterday.  And my daughter tells me there is one more waiting to be found.

There have been lots of good moments already this Christmastime, and yet, I think my favorite is the magic of finding unexpected owls.

**Merry Christmas, Everyone!**
