Barby returned yesterday afternoon, hung around in the trees bordering our yard. He let me stand right underneath him and talk to him. I offered him some raw meat but he wasn't interested, just flew to another tree. He hung around all afternoon, I even rode under his tree on Beamer, and he just stayed there. So I spread sunflower seeds around the perimeter of the yard to attract mice for him- if he doesn't get them, Foose will!
Speaking of visiting, we have friends from Alberta here for the weekend to help with the auction on Saturday- they're the ones who own Luke, Tess's littermate. we have so much stuff for the auction, it's crazy! We are going to be really busy.
Backhoe, tractor, seed drill, boats, campers.
Horse drawn implements, and yard decor galore
Antique furniture,
and a Singer Treadle sewing machine that works.
So much stuff that I don't have time to show it all! I am clerking the sale so I will have a long day tomorrow.

I love to come to that auction....some nice looking furniture there.....is that a quarter cut oak table in the last picture?
That's so cool that Barby came back to visit. Wish I could come to the auction, looks like some great stuff.
Waaah bid on that singer for me please!! Those things will sew forever and through anything. My mom us using her moms singer. We got it repaired for her this past Christmas and that thing over 50 years old sews better than any machine shes ever had.
so many times I've wished I lived closer to you. I have a feeling we'd hit it off great. But just looking at these auction pictures, I am momentarily glad that I don't live nearby. B/c that looks like the type of stuff that Malcolm and I couldn't resist, and I know if I were there I'd be coming to the sale.
SOOOOO neat that Barby came back for a visit. I bet you will be seeing him quite frequently, or maybe he just dropped in to say thanks and let you know he was doing well.
I know I haven't posted on this but have been reading... it is so neat that he is coming back.. Just like proving that he is so thankful for the help you guys gave him... amazing!
Looks like great stuff,I have an old sigger treadle sewing machine that works perfectly , or so I am told .(it works I don't)
Guess Barby stopped by to say thanks
Thank God I`m not there!...I`d bid on the whole lot! I love auctions, visit them here all the time. Told you he`d come back!
Looks like ya got a permanant owl, too cool..:-)
ooo some prettty nice stuff at the auction! Looks to be a long day though!
i'll bet you the little owl will always remember you:) so long as you live there, i bet it will be back often. :) birds get attached to people very easily. i bet he bonded with you and ted. its actually pretty sweet.
shirley, i really like that old bicycle! can you bid on it for me please. frank wants one as he really hates to walk. he would love one to ride to the superstore and practically down town! if you decide to come to calgary, you can drop it off and we will pay you for it.
Love the antiques and wish I was there. Good luck with the big day.
Great stuff. My mom had a Singer just like that one! :)
Had to catch up on the owl story...how great that it wasn't injured too badly. Great to see it flying again!
so cool Barbie came back!! he's got to be saying Thank You.

I love the shot of your owl in the trees- the leaves show how he can camouflage so well during the day.
And yes, I bet that auction must have went off well- i know I would be raising a hand frequently!
