Over the weekend we heard an owl and several coyotes sing to us. It wasn't the first time of course, but we don't hear them everynight, not even weekly so when we hear one or the other we are reminded how beautiful it is to live on a prairie.
Last night we ran out of power. I was surprised actually, because it was plenty sunny yesterday. We've known we'll need a new, bigger battery before winter so I guess it's time. Ironically, I was charging Tim's AAA batteries for his headlamp (he's been using my headlamp for several days because he was too lazy to charge his own batteries!). When the power went out, I just put on my headlamp. Tim just, well, couldn't do much because it was dark. ;-)
