Ralph...are those Slate turkeys in the photo? It's circa 1910.

I still kind of miss Johnny Carson. I hate your getting ice Ralphi. Thats the worst.

Feisty! Having fun yet?? Find any turkeys yet? Did Big Bird enjoy the flight?

Ralph, Feisty may have let Big Bird use your ticket!

Anybody get anything exciting for Christmas? My one nephew knows I love coffee. So he ran around town & got me about 10 different weird & exotic types of coffee. Goodness, I wont have to buy coffee for awhile. I love Christmas, but I'm exhausted. Too much running around. And definitely too much rich food.

Wait....their creeped out by his snood, but not the fact that he's a "peeping tom"?

My girls love to perch on my back porch rail & look in the window. Which has freaked out a few of my friends who were unaware they do that. Guess it is a bit startling to walk through the kitchen & see two turkey beaks pressed against the window.

Sigh...I'm just thinking of Feisty wandering the beaches & picking lemons off of trees...sigh
Lucky girl!!

Heading home tomorrow. Miss my girls. Daisy hasn't had a lap nap in 6 days. Starting to feel guilty.

At all costs, protect Cuddles! How 'bout some Cuddles pictures?

Got home this afternoon. The birds rushed me all a twitter! I'm not sure my chickens care much, but my turkeys sure do! Sure miss them when I'm gone.

Feisty...they are cute. But dang, look at those beaks! Hope your enjoying the New Zealand turkey search!!

Gee....I get to clean coops today. The girls will be thrilled. They take every opportunity to closely supervise all activity. Its going to be 55 today. Then rain moves in. After being gone for 5 days I've got lots of catching up to do. After all the food & family I'm looking forward to spending the day outside hanging with the girls. I'm also contemplating the fact that I'd rather spend time with my turkeys vs most of my family. Hmmmm.....

People are usually curious bout the chickens, but fascinated with the turkeys.
