rock owl

My teen family friend "K" (and I'll call him that in case he thinks it's "uncool" to be called out on the interweb) realized that I had a little owl collection going on in my house and the other day he presented me with this little gift ... 

Isn't it cool!!  A rock that looks like an owl.  At first I thought he drew on eyes because he is artistic like that but there is one of the rusty circles on the backside too and he said he didn't do that, he just found it like that.  I love gifts like this for a couple of reasons.  First, because someone actually took note of something I liked and that is so sweet and second, because it is completely one of a kind and how fun is that, and last but not least ... I am tickled pink when anyone gives me anything!  Give me a garden fresh tomato you grew or a rock that looks like an owl and I'll be just as thrilled as I would be at a gift lovingly purchased.  

And even though I must keep my mystery man a secret for fear of embarassing him ... I can say that he is super talented, kind, unique and artistic.  He rocks. Literally.
