One of the guys next door came over to tell me my turkeys were in their yard. They bought a big new gas grill & were trying to put it together. The teenagers flew over the fence to supervise. Went to get them home & all three were standing on the grill. The other guy was sitting in a lawn chair just talking to them. Both these guys are country boys. Luckily get a kick out of the turkeys.

They can be brats....but they are sweet brats! I think Iris led the way next door. The guys were sitting around talking & trying to get the grill together. I think she got curious. Last night I was sitting on a bench. Daisy on my lap, Blossom & Marigold...one sitting on either side of me and Iris...standing on the garage roof doing her vulture imitation. Its Iris who's the trouble maker!!

Poppy is doing great with his flock of girls. He's a sweet boy.
The girls are still fast asleep this morning. They live streamed the Oscar's last night. Must of been a heck of a hen party!!

Another several days of rain on tap for us. Up to 4 inches expected. I'm tired of the slop. But at least it's not ice or snow....

It's a mess. I noticed your getting the same junk. Girls won't be happy. Neither will the dogs. It's tough to get Daisy out for her walks in the pouring rain. And she really looks forward to her evening strolls. She waits by the gate for me. My poor baby!!

Cindy (I'm an architect) the structural engineer would specify the glass. Trust me, it could probably hold a herd of buffalo.

Was I out of town Ralph? I don't remember. You would have enjoyed meeting Daisy. She's the hostess with the mostess!
Raining all day....yet again. Rjohns....your getting this too....right? We've had periods of really heavy downpours. Coonhound is hiding under his blankie, girls won't leave the coop. Daisy won't get her stroll in this afternoon. Blah....

Rjohns, this rain is just miserable.

Yeah. I agree with Molpet. Heights don't do it for me.

Checked on the girls this morning. They aren't happy. The weather is a bummer for them too.
