Random Facts...XLVII

Sometimes I think I should just get off the internet altogether, like my mom told me to do when she was alive, but I like to write and talk topeople and it can get pretty lonely over here sometimes, and a forum is a social party for me......gathering.....so I TRY to concentrate on the positive..... ...not always easy to do.

 

set PM messages to friends only..

 

yeah that is gross. I have some cleavage shots in my gallery but that's it

 

I bought a two headed quarter from a magic shop several years ago for around 15 bucks.

Now I can't find it. I'm hoping I didn't spend it by mistake, and it just ended up in my change bowl while I was cleaning one day.

My change bowl is about a gallon sized, so now I have some extra work ahead of me before cashing in my change, yay.

 

I am sad, as there is the usual team of 7 big adult turkeys wandering through the front of my vision outside of this window right now. I love wild turkeys and am always happy to see them, but where are all of the little ones that were following them less than a month ago?...about 12 of them?

and then when hunting season starts in the fall here, I don't see any turkeys again for a long while....Yes, this kind of stuff makes me sad....

 

12 baby wild turkeys must have been a nice feast for the coyotes around here. It is so sad....as I saw them happily running after and before their elders quite a few times.....their zest for life filled my heart......so I am still crying here, and it helped to talk about it, so thanks for listening....

On a happier note...Turkey Hill had a sale on their ice cream this week....2 for $5.00, and I picked pistachio which is very good....but I discovered one ice cream this time by them that is out of this world called Southern Lemon Pie....tangy lemon ice cream swirled with whipped marshmellow and shortbread pieces....Talk about a Mercedes benz for desserts....I never had lemon creamy ice cream beforee...only the sherbets and ices...This ice cream beats all.....Have you ever tried this ice cream?

 

The baby turkeys here are just about as big as the adults by now...

 

TY, in one month? Could they have found their own territories other than here? I hope so!

 

They were chicks back in June or there abouts... They need to be pretty much full grown before winter hits.

 

They grow pretty quick they would look full grown unless you saw them next to an actual full grown turkey.....kind of like teenager are when it comes to humans.

 

Yeah... I could still tell they were smaller than "mom" but not by much.

 

Ok, thanks, I just hope some of them made it, if not all.....but that is nature....sometimes, unfortuneately....

 

Indeed nature can be merciless sometimes.

 

yeah....

 

ever see a baby wild turkey running...flapping their wings that look very stubbed at that age...they are so darn adorable.....

 

The big ones walk with purpose, high stepping as they go, and always on the lookout, grazing on something in the grasses as they go.....
