Although it's 83 here, the humidity is LOW! Sitting outside listening to the St. Louis Cardinal game with my favorite lapper. Doesn't get much better!!

I sure miss hockey living in the south. There's a team over in Nashville. But you wouldn't know it here on the delta.

Annie is taking an egg break. No eggs for almost 2 weeks. Hmmm. Wonder if she'll start back...

If a mosquito lands on me, Daisy will eat it. If I point at one, she'll reach over & grab it. Everyone should protect themselves from mosquitoes with a lap turkey.

Flashpoint, sounds like the Turkeys had some fun! I have a friend who's tom rides around next to him in his golf cart. Bird loves it!

Wow. Is 50#'s big for a Narri? I replaced four boards on my deck. The girls will not cross them. They are all upset. Difference in color.

This is sad. Was in the front yard yesterday evening with the the girls. Neighbor brought her two visiting granddaughters over to meet the turkeys. The older one didn't want to touch them. The younger, maybe around 3, sort of a toddler was fascinated with Annie. But Annie never wants to be cuddled by someone she doesn't know. Poor Daisy, who loves kids, kept inserting herself between the kid & Annie. Kid would walk around Daisy & toddle after Annie. Daisy would follow the kid & repeatedly tried to get her attention. Poor Daisy. She wanted that kid & the kid could have cared less.

Cute bug eyed babies Rjohns!
Danielley.....they are sweet! And make such great pets!
Fire Ant...get some turkeys! You won't regret it! My favorite way to relieve stress after work...sitting outside with a sleeping turkey in my lap....and listening to the St. Louis Cardinals winning a game on the radio.
