We had a good Thanksgiving vacation in Holland. Sue Neal's extended family was over on Thursday and our oldest daughter and husband were home until today. Ms. Foster's family was over on Friday for breakfast. We took several walks and Rachel found some white planaria to take back to Champaign. This morning, I took a walk shortly after sunrise and heard two barred owls fighting (sounded like cats) with the loser flying off from the battle. Barred owls look like a loaf of wheat bread with wings.
