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.

Chia Head

Chia seeds. My latest health kick, along with aloe vera juice. Have you had aloe vera juice? Not the flavored aloe drinks but the actual juice? It tastes like a combination of b.o. and gasoline. Needless to say, I only managed to drink a few ounces of the stuff. Blondie has been holding her nose and gulping it down. Back to the chia. It has lots of fiber, protein and omega 3 and it tastes pretty good. I throw it on oatmeal, yogurt, or add it to juice. The fun with the chia is that those black little seeds find places to hide out in your teeth for hours. After lunch, I go to the women's room for a smile check. Then a couple of hours later, while you are in a meeting, one little seed that has been hiding behind your 3rd molar decides to come front and center. Hit the bathroom before driving home and you realize you had a lovely black thing or two  stuck in your choppers for the last half hour while presenting your point to group of colleagues. Now I understand why they make wh

The Ring, Part 2

-
Image
Up until last night, I thought I had tried everything. Dishwashing soap, dental floss, olive oil, two different kinds of hand lotion, ice, and Windex. I was just about to give up. However, my friends McMeaty and McCheesy were not. First came the WD-40 and lots of tugging. Standing over the kitchen sink, McMeaty gave it his all. Unfortunately the WD-40 not only lubed up my finger but his entire hand as well. No go there. Next came the dental floss. But the hand cream I had put on after the WD-40 only made the floss slip right off my finger without moving the ring. At this point, I had been sitting on the couch with my arm elevated for about ten minutes or so. This made the swelling go down quite a bit (thank you Chewy ). McMeaty was confident between the hand lotion and the reduction in swelling that another few pulls and twists would work. I sat on the couch, arm still elevated, while he patiently moved the ring up to my knuckle. Then wth a few more twists, turns, and tugging, the rin

Paper Strips. I Don't.

You know what's a pain in the ass? Shredding bills and bank statements.  It's time consuming, it's messy, and one box of paper creates three trash bags full of 1.5 inch X .3 inch paper strips. I want my bills to now be sent on cheese. That way when I shred them, I can at least at do something with the by-product. Put it on a sandwich, throw it on some pasta, toss it on top of some corn chips - all of which is better than trying to shove 20 pounds of paper into a trash bag meant to hold no more than 10 pounds. Great nachos CJ! Why thank you. That's my electric bill you are eating. I shred everything. Cable bill? Shred that bad boy. Don't need anyone seeing what extras I rented (don't judge!). Phone bills? What if someone finds my itemized statement and starts crank calling my relatives? Shred it too! Retirement statements? No one has to know I need to work for another 70 years. Shred, shred, shred! Amazon receipts? Ohhhh no. None of your bees wax. Yes, I
