Annie & Fern Face Daisy will have to remain incarcerated until I get home. Can't trust Daisy won't be up to her ears in my fern beds again.

LOL...love the pic of Dolly. He's almost as big as she is! Kids & their turkeys...the best!
Watching the kids here in the hood interact with my girls is special! Actually, watching some of the adults with the turkeys is pretty funny too. Some of the questions are hysterical. For some reason I've been asked more than once if they live in the house with me.

So...it rained literally all day here yesterday. And it was a bit chilly. Supposed to be nice & sunny today. Sure hope the weatherdorks are correct. The turkeys dont seem to mind the rain... but its ridiculous trying to get this coonhound to go out while its raining . Big baby. He ends up being a big bundle of bored energy. Finally loaded him up and took him to Lowes with me.

If there is such a thing...yesterday was as 'bout as perfect of a day possible! Low 70's & NO humidity! Just gorgeous! The girls were feeling it too. Tried working in the yard with the girls help. They were into everything. What a couple of pests. But so comical! Neighbors out in force. Couldn't go 10 minutes without someone stopping by to talk to the hens. At one time had a pile of little girls sitting in the yard hugging turkeys. Moms standing by sipping wine and me...trying to weed. Neighbors have gotten to the point of nodding in my direction and proceeding to converse with the girls. Sigh...

Feedman, good luck with the wobbly poult & the storms!

Noticed Daisy pacing the fence to my yard yesterday evening. Figured it was about time for their walk & she was ready to go. Opened the gate, headed toward the gate to the driveway & Daisy went running ahead of me down the path & dove under my Itea bush. Turned around a few times and laid an egg. Hopped up & headed to the gate for her walk. LOL! Guess laying an egg is not worth missing a walk over!

Well...getting another round of storms & tornadoes today. Seems never ending. Looks like a big system affecting lots of people. Hope all will be ok.

R2elk....beautiful babies! Are they in lapper training yet? LOL!

The front took it's time. Lots of rain & wind but it seemed to calm down a bit by the time it got here. Really windy all day, hold onto your hat Rjohns. Thunder woke me up sometime last night. Highly annoying. Tore up Pine Bluff Arkansas ...about 2 hours west of here. Cindy, I just might trade our weekly tornadoes for some of your weather at this point.
