Hope everyone one east survives the weather! It was nasty here....lots of wind damage.

Let the hound out around 4 for his morning constitutional. Poured my coffee, got his breakfast ready, turned on the early news....and then....from the depths of the yard I hear that gravely bay then his "I ain't kidding" chopping bark. Yep....to the neighbors delight...hes on a tree! Nighty, slippers, flashlight & leash....finally dragged him to the house. Ran out the door so quick I forgot we had a cold front overnight & it was only 33. He ate, burped & is now curled up asleep with a smile on his face & I'm still trying to warm up. Sigh.....

Ok....I'm bragging on my teenage ninja turkey girls! Yes they will take flight whenever they get startled. But they are learning all the crazy noises associated with city living. But the fun thing is that they are following me around now. And talk, talk, talk. Oh boy are they chatty! I got my blower out....geez....they flew in any direction they could. No one flew over a fence....that was a good thing. Ran into my baker friend. Told her I now had four hens. She gave me a big hug! She wants pictures of them to post in her shop so her clients can see who is contributing to the baked goods. I think that's a brilliant idea. I also found out she bakes by "weight". She'll whisk eggs together some eggs and weighs out what she needs for each recipe. I was wondering how she compensated for the turkey eggs being larger.

Currently we are only 47. At least 20 degrees below where we usually are. Luckily the sun is out. Got the girls out & they are hopping around the yard. Checking on them every 5 minutes to make sure they aren't getting into trouble. Daisy is sitting on my back porch rail watching the show. I think the young ones are just playing. They found a soccer ball and have been messing with it all morning. Gosh they are funny!!

Nice crisp day here & the girls are enjoying just hanging out! Looks like Blossom has stolen poor little Skinny Iris' favorite spot on the BBQ!
