IT RAINED THIS AFTERNOON! YAY!

Some of you might've seen our drought-stricken area on the national news, due to the wildfires raging in our neighboring counties- close enough for us to see the smoke here, in fact.

We needed this really badly.

I'm so psyched to finally see rain that some kind of giveaway should be in order.

Our April shower was all too brief, lasting only fifteen to twenty minutes, but it helped the yard and flowers, and I hope it gave the poor burnt-out folks nearby in Waycross some relief.

Anyway, I got an unusual Room Service tip last night, so why not?

And I saw a huge Barred Owl on my way to the South Wing to deliver the bottle of champagne I was serving those guests. An interesting omen- I count owls as lucky.

Sooo... here goes.

There's a catch, though- you gotta visit the Darkside forum to enter. Posts here don't count toward the giveaway- just there. And only one post per entrant, since I will draw the winner with a random number generator.

    I saw a hawk with a snake in its mouth today. Flew right overhead.

    I had just returned from a coin show where I had very good luck.

    Hm. Must've been The Day Of The Raptors, or somethin'. Not long after I saw the owl, when the sun came up and I was waiting for the shuttle bus on my way out of work, a beautiful peregrine falcon flew right over. I had never seen any around here. The Barred Owl sighting wasn't terribly unusual- we have a big 'un in our own backyard. But the falcon was cool to see. And I am not used to seein' the owls up close and personal like I did with that big ol' hooter last night. I was driving by in my Room Service truck and he was sittin' right there on the curb. Didn't fly away or nothin'. He must've been after a critter in the grass.
