I'm sure you'll find a use for them! We'd like to get some turkeys, but I need to read up on them. Anyway, not this year...this year is the year of the chicken. :) I see you're into bees...I'm expecting our two hives by May. Were supposed to get them by now, but the guy getting us into beekeeping re-queened, and he wants to make sure all is a-ok. I'm excited, though!

The critters that wind up in the middle of the road can be funny or infuriating and other times down right terrifying. We have had several strings on this forum about frog and toad crossings and many of us have had to brake a little too fast when the headlights reveal a startled deer or two. (Have you heard about the deer in Colorado that have figured out the traffic signals? I've seen them.) On the same road where I acquired Birdy I had to get out of the car and herd a gaggle of geese marching mostly down the yellow line. Hey Horton, if you were missing a squadron, at least they were on Airport Road headed for the north-south runway. Another time I wound up chasing cows wandering along the same stretch. I've often wondered if I got them in the correct barnyard. You know it's really hard rounding up cows while wearing high heels, especially when there is a bull on the other side of the barb wire. Your turn. Sandy

Jane, #1 is as lovely as #2. You have so many neat turkeys! I really like your white hutch with all the colors you used. So many lovely things. The Pilgrim couple was a great find. I'm ROTFLMBO that the other lady had a broken foot so DH gave her a new one! If I didn't know that your DH's great at woodworking I might wonder if someone else only has one foot now!teehee Love Mr Brown and he does look Grand! You will crack up when you see my Mr Brown when I post my ts. I will keep hunting and try to console myself by believing 'Good Things Come To Those Who Wait'.haha It must be almost overwhelming knowing you are decorating for fall and have so much company coming for a Christmas get together soon after TG. Hope you know we love seeing all of this so it's time well spent! Besides you have to much beautiful fall decor to not share. Do take care of yourself tho. Punk

My little 5 yr old son put us in our place (a long time ago). This joyful package of life came bounding toward us one day and remarked, "I know why there are 2 parents!" My wife and I shot glances toward eash other and we read on each other face. So soon? We'd hoped this sort of conversation would come later. My wife replied, "No. Tell us why." He replied, "Its because when I am hungry and one of you is busy, the other one can feed me!" That explained it. Thanks for little boys and their logic. It put us in our place and taught us a lesson: Get the full story before answering - don't make asumptions.
