I was wondering how long it would take for Ralph to weigh in on the dux!! LOL!

Aurora....sounds like a plan! Coonhound & I will tuck in well before midnight! Who knows what kind of gala Daisy will be hosting in the turkey pen. She's on her own! Just hoping she hasn't conned a neighbor into serving her champagne at midnight!
Hey...does it matter who you kiss at midnight? Thought there was some old wives tail about that. Which has me a bit concerned since I'll be snuggled up with a coonhound.

Happy New Year! Here's hoping 2020 is a good one for all of us!!

Man...it sounded like a war zone here last night with all the fireworks. It was crazy. It even bothered the coonhound who is not gun shy, nor concerned about thunder.

Awww....lounging about with birds....well put. My favorite thing! This time of year a lapper turns into a feathery heating pad.

So....R2elk....is the pink something you can photograph? I'd like to see what it looks like. I know Aurora's Sweet Pea is iridescent and I've seen red reflections in some of her pictures.

I got no pink turkeys...punk turkeys...no pink.

Speaking of punk turkeys....it was chilly & windy yesterday, but lots of sun. They lined up on the path again to sun bathe. All sprawled out. Trying to get a pic, but everytime I open the door they come running.

Skinny Iris is so funny! Blossom & Marigold have taken to hanging out on the porch rail with Daisy. The three of them were lined up on one side of the porch rail. On the other side I had hung a towel I used to wipe dog paws with. There was no room left for poor Iris to perch between the fat girls. She was intimidated by the towel and wasn't going to hop up on it. So as I was messing around at the sink I kept seeing her flying straight up in the air. She would hop up but loose her courage & not land on the towel. Poor girl! I went out & grabbed her & scooted the fat girls over enough to wedge her in. So Iris was happy...but the others bailed. Oh well....

Wow...those feathers are really pink! Just beautiful!
That tom isn't too bad either! Handsome guy!
