Well...we have fun folks on our thread...but wasn't sure if anyone was close to Ogden. I've only met Fred Gobblers...and we had a fun visit! He even met the coonhound. Since I'll be traveling a bit....just thought I'd check to see if anyone is close. Oh well...

We ended up last night with some big fluffy snow flakes falling. Nothing stuck, but it was sure pretty....for the 10 minutes it snowed. So now I've had my snow fix for the year!!

Hope all east of me survives the storms. It was a crazy day between the thunder storms & tornadoes.

Hey...my coonhound "tail dialed" my sister!! Tossed my phone on my bed. Came back to hear my sister saying "hello, hello" & the hound standing there staring at the phone.

I remember that snow Cindy! I was horrified! It's only in the mid 30's here. No sun. Overcast & damp. Miserable.

Yep...mine are city girls. Their pen/coop is 16x16 and they free range during the day. They have a 200x200 yard. It works for us.

Turkey language is fascinating. The more you interact with your birds the more you'll understand. My girls make all kinds of funny sounds. I can usually figure out what they are talking, or whining, about!

Girls sure enjoyed the sun today. I think it made a difference in their mood....they just seemed happy. Not that I have moody turkeys. Oh who am I kidding....I have a bunch of teenagers...y'all know how that can be!!
