A Night in the Back Yard by GAF (Great Aunt Fluff) 5/28/2014
I have this great big house! There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The wooden floors are so shiny. They even glow like a delicate light in the dark. The house is quite pretty, I must say so myself. I work very hard to keep it up. It’s very colorful and cozy inside and out. There is a patio on the roof and a swimming pool in the back yard. I had my pool cleaned last week. Swimming is my favorite thing to do in the summer. Jas really liked to climb the ladder to get on the swing and hang up-side-down and then pretend she was blasting into outer space!

She really wasn’t sleepy at all. GAF knew this was going to be a long night, but she had promised Jas this night out for a long time.
Woo-WHOO! “What in the world is that GAF”, Jas questioned? GAF quickly told her that it was a night owl. “Why is it called a night owl,” Paige scarily asked? GAF explained to the girls that a night owl is a wise old restless bird who hoots and chirps and sits in a tree.
He does not come out during the day and stays awake all night long! Jas wanted to know why the wise old owl doesn’t sleep. GAF responded, “Well Jas, The majority of owl species are nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and are awake and hunt at night. However, this does not hold true for all owls, as some do hunt and consume their prey during daylight hours. Snowy owls, for example, hunt during the day, as they tend to live in climates with long hours of sunlight, and Barred owls will hunt during overcast weather, as well as at dawn and dusk.”
Now they settled down again. GAF’s eyes were rolling all about like small lighted marbles on the ground. She was listening to every little outside night sound! The flickering lantern seemed to be dying out at
