Owls remind me of New Zealand.
We have another home there.
It is a bus as well.
We also have an outdoor bathtub there.
It is a big ol cast iron set in the middle of some big high bushes.
It has a little camp stove under it to heat up the propane.

We tried once to heat it with wood but the smoke gets in your eyes.
Also it was much harder to get the temperature right.
It just kept cooking us.
No way to turn it off.
As it is you have to sit on these little wooden seats.
If you dont,
You will have a burnt bottom.

We use the bath late at night.
It being outside and everything.
The stars are always gorgeous.
Sometimes there is a big moon with the clouds racing across it.
Almost always there is the sound of Moreporks.
An owl that lives in New Zealand.
They call back a forth to each other.
It sounds like they are saying "More Pork."

I got the idea for this cute little apron from an owl pillow.
The wings are pockets!
The yellow is doubled up so you don't see all the stitching from the owl on the back.
Kid size of course.
