It slays me to think of people stealing birds. Of all things! If someone stole Daisy they would probably return her the first time she demands a pedicure!

I didn't realize you guys were getting snow!! Its 70 here. But that's not good...more storms coming through this evening. Some severe.

Heard the NBA canceled the rest of their season, now the NHL canceled theirs. Everyone is talking about the empty planes they've been on this week. Folks in my firm are out of town a lot. Glad I canceled my trip next week. Is anyone getting worried about this? R2elk....last I saw WY didn't have any cases....but aren't you one of 5 people living in that state?? Aurora.....are you interacting with a lot of people at work?

If this gets worse we may consider renting the bus & heading to WY. Surely R2elk has a spare bedroom for Daisy!! R2elk....we'll bring the hounds!!

Coronavirus is turning people into hoarders. Its crazy! I hope all of us stay healthy.

I can't deal with smells from cosmetic products. Perfume kills me too. Seems like my sinuses get worse or more sensitive the older I get.

Waiting for the storms & tornadoes to roll in. Hope it's not too bad. I'm tired tonight...not looking forward to being woken by storms.

Alicia....I just love it when kids & turkeys bond!! Looks like Lily gives great hen hugs.

We survived the storms. Thunder woke me up but didn't last long.

I never can understand how our power can go out on beautiful clear days. It sure can disrupt your day.

Marigold hopped in my lap again. Landed like a box of rocks. She needs to work on her technique. This time Daisy noticed. She marched right over & grabbed her tail.

Luckily I don't get gifted stinkum. Family & friends know I wouldn't use it. The other thing that will kill my sinuses is potpourri. I've had to leave all kinds of shops & some folks homes because of it.
Its chilly & overcast. Yet more rain on the way. I'm annoyed. On & off rain all weekend. Its getting ridiculous.

Amazing that most, if not all, pro sports have put the halt on their seasons. Baseball is my sport of choice and they have disbanded spring practice & delayed the start of the season. I'll kind of miss March Madness. I do enjoy that. Going to be lots of withdrawal for some of the hard core sportsmen. Hey....maybe when we rent the van & head to R2elk's... we can institute turkey races. Or have a Project Runway kind of thing! We could amuse ourselves for days!

Awww...I hate that about the musical. Poor guy! But hey....get those kids on making saddles!

The hording is interesting. Can't find pasta either. It's the toilet paper I don't get. Food, maybe. But there's a lot of substitutes for TP if you get creative.

Listened to Trumps presser. Sounds like he's got things rolling in the right way. And the stock market took off!

What's a lek?? Bantambird...gorgeous!! I've never seen a grouse in real life....just on tv....are they noisy? Do those sack things make noise? It's so much fun learning about new things here. We have such a fun & diverse bunch of turkey folk!!

How cool! Love the sounds they make. They are stunning birds. Do people eat them?

R2elk...what's with the "Magical, Perfect Creature "? I could describe Daisy like that!!

If you guys are interested....I have a story about grouse involving my Grandpa, Ww1, and the infamous flying ace Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron.
