What a bunch of turkeys! Big dummies! All the regular birds are mad and squawking in the background.

Those turkeys are HUGE!! Lots of nice white meat :)

Happy Thanksgiving, CJ! :)

OK, I'm rolling on the floor laughing at the "turkey guard" comment. You have turkeys in your yard like I have deer in mine...

We need more video!!!!

Are you cooking one of those studbirds, tomorrow??

I bet you could get rich from "organic" turkeys!!!

I love wild turkeys...a big part of Ms Creek's and my adolesence & teenage years....it's obvious whomever lives there is throwing feed out for them, my Dad could feed them out of his hand!
Thanks for sharing this!

aren't they just so cool? yes, we used to watch them out our living room window every day! and we also enjoyed them for dinner (not the ones we fed...) and they are good eating! all dark meat.

Now I know where all our turkeys went. The second one from the left looks familiar. Looks like they didn't check their calenders..

Happy Thanksgiving!!
We had a lot of fun last night. I bet your songs are just playing now...

I love seeing wild turkeys -- so fun. Three does ran through my front yard today -- they looked wildly out of place.

Hunting season ...I'd move to my front yard too.

The place I lived in New Jersey a few years back, we had a wild turkey family (about 20 of them) wander through the back yard every day or so...

Yes Blondie, I don't think these are the brightest birds in the neighborhood.

Hey Rizzo - With my luck I would shoot my eye out, just like in A Christmas Story.

Hello OC! I would rather have the deer. We hardly get those. I'll trade you!

Hey Rubye Jean - Yes, our neighbor feeds them. Funny, haven't seen them around since Wednesday. Oh oh.

Hello Ms. Creek - They are fun to watch. They walk in line up the hill. One after the other the just keep coming. It's like a turkey party.

Hey Lyn - It was a well timed blog gift that's for sure. Very cool indeed.

McMeaty - I think we got every turkey that lives within 5 miles. The ones from your yard must have told all their friends.

Thank you Chewy! Need an extra turkey?

Hello MLC - Wish we had more deer in our yard. I I think they are a lot cuter than the turkeys (sorry turkeys).

Hello JaneyRuth - Thank you visiting! Yes, they seem to like to hang in large groups.

Those things never fail to make me smile. You have a TON of them compared to us. We never see more than 8 or so at a time, more often 4 or 5.

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:

Oops, I Did It Again

A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.

You Are Hereby Put On Official Notice

-
...that I am outta City Hall in three weeks. I am giving my notice at work on Monday, something I hate to do. I have been very worried about the economic climate and my continued status as a dependent contractor at my current organization. My position is funded until June, but with a freeze both on hiring and overtime and worsening conditions, I feel I need to get out while I can. Being a contractor affords me no unemployment insurance and if things continue as they are, I think jobs will be harder to come by as June nears. I have accepted a position at a University in the Boston area. The commute will still pretty much stink, but it is a 35 hour week and there is the opportunity to work remotely (i.e. from my dining room) one day a week. I am really looking forward to joining this organization and very excited to be working in higher ed. Giving my notice is going to be very tough. I have been with my current organization, as both a full time employee and a contractor, for over 8 years...
