No interest in the egg? That is odd. Egg laying here can get rather dramatic.

Still storming. Coonhound still bored. Turkeys still on roost. Blah...

LOL! Maybe that's why she's jumping around! To dislodge the egg!

You know....I can see my girls using a trampoline! I can just see them running to it when they feel the need to lay an egg. Much more exciting than crawling into a nest box. After all....girls just wanna have fun!

Aurora, sound a like your getting the storms we just had. Good luck.

So much rain a tree fell over in our neighborhood. . Huge old oak. Of course it took out the power in the whole area. We were down for 5 hours. Took the girls for a stroll. All the neighbors were out. Daisy got surrounded by kids. Kids were having a blast. Annie was in the middle of things being hand fed clover. Lots of selfies taken. Adults get as big of a kick with the girls as the kids do. Something about turkeys seem to make people just grin. I'm betting they will sleep like a couple of logs tonight. They got lots of attention.

Nice weather here until mid-week when we get another round of severe weather. Wind, tornadoes, excessive rain...feels like ground hog day!
Well, we know if the power goes out again, the girls can provide the neighborhood entertainment .

I remember one of Ralphies turkeys being smitten by a lady vet. Think it was JJ.

Shoes...Annie is so into shoes! And painted toenails with sparkly sandals!

Work at our firm came to a standstill yesterday. Nothing like a bunch of architects watching one of the most iconic buildings in the world burning. Just so sad. I could feel it in the pit of my stomach. Sorry to go all architectural on ya...still hard to believe.

On a lighter note...it was a beautiful day here yesterday. Girls got mobbed by roving kids on bikes. Daisy of course relished the attention. Annie thoroughly inspected the bikes. As they rode off Daisy started flapping. I swear she had thoughts of flying after them. Now that would be a weird sight. A little gang of kids biking around the neighborhood with a turkey flying amongst them.

I heard they saved a lot of the artifacts. But wanting to hear about the organ. It's one of the largest in the world. Just went through a renovation a few years ago. Spent a year in France going to school & had the privilege to hear several organ concerts. The old girl could really roar.
