Ugg! There is a blues song with a phrase that perfectly summarizes our weather: "Hot, Hot as a Coffee Pot". Needless to say , it's nasty humid. Yard birds all panting, hanging in the shade, cooling off in their little pond or sitting under the fans. Daisy is a huge fan hog. Plops down right in front and will even rest her beak on the grill. Fans are up full blast pushing quite a bit of air...she just closes her eyes & stuffs her beak in the grill & will just stay that way. Well, what ever works...I guess.

Relaxing in the cool grass is a favored activity here too. I've been known to garden in the dark too!! Sometimes thats the only time I can get out with this heat!

Holm, I'm so sorry. She was a cool turkey, great mom, and funny that you apparently insulted her & she never let you forget!!
This is a fun thread...turkey folks can find others of like kind. And some of us that have been around awhile really enjoy the chatter, I agree, we can get a bit off topic but I never thought we ranged that far off as to warrant complaints.
AND speaking of turkeys, I've been up in Ste. Genevieve MO since Thursday (where its currently a balmy 63). So I've been working in the gardens and boy do I miss my turkey helpers!! My little bug and weed eaters! The big deal, sitting on the porch last night, was lack of turkey mosquito protection! Sure missed Daisy picking off those mosquitoes! Sure miss my girls.
