Happy birthday, Owl Meat
I've been told today is Owl Meat's birthday. No word on his age, but maybe he'll fill us in.
Many happy returns! (I love that phrase; I never knew what it meant as a child. Or why it was important, for that matter.)

What do you give the Owl who has everything?

Hope you feathered your nest, M Hibou.

How about a wading pool (bird bath) that could substitute for a SANDBOX.
Happy Birthday.

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag zur Eule!
um, Happy Birthday to the Owl!
I should stop using that babelfish thing and keep it in English.
Enjoy your day!
By the way, did you know that Ozzy Osbourne's birthday is tomorrow?

There is an old, old birthday prayer in my tradition that begins ... "Watch over thy children, O Lord, as their days increase. Bless them and guide them wherever they may be, keeping them unspotted by the world. ..."
It came to mind unbidden as I looked at this thread, and suddenly I am flooded with questions, to wit, What kind of owl is our OMG??
Spotted? (if so, can they change?)
Great Horned?
Snowy?
Barred? (from where?)
Saw-whet? (Say What?)
Barn?
Long-eared (my best guess!)?
Common Screech (only occasionally!)
Burrowing (never!)?
Hawk?
or maybe Great Gray?
(... well, clearly moving in that general direction-- just like the rest of us!)

Owlie, I'm so sorry to be so late conveying birthday wishes. Hope it was a great day!

Thank you all very much. Your sentiments are much appreciated. And lovely Laura Lee wrote a haiku for me? I am much honored and humbled. It was a wonderful day. I do truly have everything I need this year.

To OMG (My Very Good Friend)
May you be as wise as the owl that you are, as peaceful as a dove and as happy as a lark.
(I know the last two are prey, but take it in the spirit in which it is intended.)

A haiku with medieval references. I say we declare Laura Lee to be our poet laureate.

Lissa--I second that motion!

Didn't get online last night so missed the birthday party. Belated greetings, Owlie! And very many happy returns of the day.
Lissa, I'll second that.
