So today there's this thing going on in town. There's a Parade and a Carnival (which I missed both, sadly), and everyone's having a yard sale, and tonight there's a Pot Luck and "Live Music" :) It's the first day that I've seen that this place is actually a town; and, I'm really excited. I have never lived in a small town before, so this is kind of new to me, and all I know is what everyone writes in books and stuff, so don't judge me :) My idea of small towns is that they're full of sweet "quiet" people and I've always thought they were cool, so I'm excited that I now live in one :)
The thing I found on my first day here, that I loved instantly, was the owls. If I just sit there for a minute I'll hear them right behind the birds and the crickets. Owls are nocturnal, but for some reason I can hear them in the middle of the day-all day in fact. Owls are so cool. They're in mysteries, when the hero or whoever is aproaching the dark creepy mansion to investigate and they're startled by the hoot of an owl. (Which, by the way, is a silly name for owl calls, in my opinion.) Owls are also considered to be wise, or to represent wisdom, whichever. So naturally, they're pretty amazing :)
Crickets are also pretty cool, but mainly just because they sound so cool. At night when its quiet they're all I can hear; or, when someone says something and everyone is frozen quit, I can't help but crack up because its just so classic :)
Well anyway, I better go make some brownies for the dinner thing.
