My Autumn Birthday Wish...

Well....I hope everyone had a nice weekend! And I do apologize for not getting around to all of the blogs, but I had a busy weekend. And as luck would have it....today is my Birthday! Woo Hoo! So that means I get to use a 'get out of blogging' free pass. I plan on going out to do a little shopping today. I'm going to make my rounds, and see if I can find any signs of Halloween beginning to emerge in my favorite stores. So instead of a regular blog post, I'm just going to post a photo of the present I wanted for my birthday instead. I say 'wanted'.....because I've already been informed that I will NOT be getting it under any circumstances. But I don't know why not! I promised I'd take good care of him....yet the grumpy ole' troll hubby still says NO! Boo Hiss on him right?! But don't shed any tears for me just yet....because the hubby did grant my second, (and only other birthday wish)...which was Tickets to New England in October! Hooray! I get to go commune with my old friend 'Fall' once more! Having missed out last year, I am really jonesing to go back. So I guess I will forgive the Hubster for denying me the CUTEST lil' Pet Owl in an Autumn Hat that ever flew on the face of the earth. Who knows, maybe if I'm lucky...I can catch one in the wilds of Vermont, buy him a little orange hat to wear, and bring him back to Florida with me. You never know! And if that fails to transpire...well at least I get to go back to New England and photograph scenes like the one below! (I took this in Lebanon New Hampshire, in 2009, and the color was outstanding!) So I'll be spending the next 2 months dreaming dreams of Fall! Care to join me?! :o)Owl © clusterflock.org

The only way that owl could be cuter is if he were wearing a "Jayne" hat. (From Firefly...)

Congrats on your birthday trip!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!! ♥
And what a wonderful present - to get to go (back) to New England this Autumn. I will expect gobs and gobs of your lovely photos so that I might live vicariously through you this year. Someday, Hubby & I will take our own trip the Northeast.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! The owl is the cutest thing ever....and I don't know why your dear hubby won't let you have him!!! I wish I could go to New England in October....but I will be taking a birthday trip to Ocracoke, NC with my two daughters....so I can't complain. I am going to Mountains of NC in a few weeks though.....yay!

Happy Birthday! I've been seeing the beginnings of Halloween here and there already. Micheal's and Old Time Pottery both have some stuff. Ahhh Fall, a word us Florida folk use to describe places other people live. Have a great Birthday, and heres to hoping you catch a little owl when you take your Fall trip.

Aw shucks....thank you all so much for your Birthday Wishes! You Halloweenies are the best of the best! I had a great day...although I must admit, I can't stop thinking about that lil' Owl! Ha! Does anyone know if it's legal to have a pet owl in the state of Florida? :o)
