And I've really underestimated my neighbors. After visiting today during the yard sales....I am amazed at how much they like the girls. One older man who drives by frequently, but never stops, told me he looks for my girls every time he passes my yard. Said it makes his day. Gives him a good chuckle. Never would have thought that.

Big Poppy is doing well! Apparently the girls love him! Should be little Poppys this spring. Rather miss him...but it's better for him. He has six girls. His new owner loves her turkeys. It's a good home.

Tuesday it will only be in the 30's here. And will go down to the low 20"s for a few nights. Ridiculous weather! However....turkey lap warmers do help.

Flash....nothing better than kids ,& turkeys. Got a kick out of the SS story....that's so like them!
Anyone notice a new Chantix turkey commercial? They so amuse me! The turkey reminds me of Sweet Pea. I think it's the feather colors.

Every time I see that commercial I think of Sweet Pea! You sure she hasn't launched an acting career on the sly?? LOL!

Fred Gobblers....I know.....my turkeys are pets. But gosh your girls are funny & sweet!!

Yep Molpet....that's one of the new commercials. There is an even newer one. Compare to Sweet Pea's picture! It cracks me up!
