Whooty the Owl and Friends Move Into the Neighborhood September 27, 2020

September 27, 2020

Sunday’s on the Porch with Stanley

Me: Wowza Stanley! You look really awesome in your new sweats!

Stanley: <beaming> (he’s all proud)

Me: How are you today? Besides being warmer?

Stanley: I’m wonderful. And really enjoying this chocolate piñon coffee. <contented sigh>

Did you know someone new moved into the neighborhood?

Me: <surprised> No. Who is it?

Stanley: That’s exactly who it is!

Me: Who?

Stanley: <laughing> Whooty the Owl!

Me: Oh, you’re being funny Stanley. Whooty the owl has moved in?

Stanley: Yes. And he brought a few friends with him.

Me: I thought owls were very territorial?

Stanley: Well, I don’t think that applies to Whooty. I suspect he’s not your normal everyday owl.

Me: Well, no. I guess that wouldn’t be the case if he moved here. Who else came with him?

Stanley: Well, I didn’t catch all the names but there is Curious Owl, and she sounds a bit eccentric but funny. And there’s Serious Owl. He hooted in earnest for most of the night. And then there’s a fourth one that has a crazy wild hoot. That one seems to be easily excitable!

Me: Oh my! It sounds like you had an interesting night out here.

Stanley: We did! They were so happy to be here and partied hard until the wee hours of the morning. None of us got any sleep!

Me: Oh no! What did you do?

Stanley: Well, everyone looks to me for guidance you know. So, they asked me to call an emergency council meeting.

Me: Really?

Stanley: Yes. And everyone wanted to come and share their concerns.

Me: Well, that’s very adult-ish, Stanley! Were the newcomers also given time to speak?

Stanley: Of course they were. But remember I said they were also busy “throwing it down”!

Me: And the outcome was?

Stanley: Who wants to miss out on all that fun! We all voted immediately to join in and welcomed them to the neighborhood in true boogaloo style.

<wink-wink>

Stanley: Oh, and you might want to get those yard guys back out. There’s quite a happy mess down here.
