Ranch Owls

In July, 2004 the phone call that I was completely unprepared for, stage 4 Melanoma, even then thinking "oh, no big deal - just skin cancer - they can burn it off"  How wrong I was~

There we sat on the brick wall just about dusk, and the owls started their song - we walked up to the cave and there on a branch were three owls, all in a row, watching us, in that instant  both Rusty and I knew that our lives were going to change and that these owls knew our future and were singing our song~

I had been introduced to my first owl at the ranch, quite by accident, watering the baby trees and I looked up and there was the most beautiful barn owl, blinking in the day light from a nest down at me.  I was motionless and awestruck at the incredible beauty of this creature - To this day the Owls sing our song and watch over me~
