Journal: Our Raven

(Monday, May 13, 2024)

Today at two in the afternoon Chris and I were standing in front of the kitchen windows. He said, “Look!” A huge raven was sitting on the driveway wall. Even Snowball was excited and obsessed by the big black bird. Raven sat for a bit on the wall, then flew to the roof of the garage, then flew to the electrical wires at the back of the yard. After a few minutes it was gone.

Saturday, on my way to the gardens at Lake Harriet, I walked past the Rosalux Gallery. A large white abstract painting called “Raven” hung in the front window. I thought that was an odd title.

Wednesday, May 29, 2024: Now the raven sits on the top of the tree near our backyard. I see him/her, alone, every day.
