Houston we've got TURKEY!!!

well today KayLea and i were just sitting around and suddenly we heard what we thought was a very mis-placed goose, we were WRONG.. we had a whole group of wild Turkey's!!! i counted 10 but there were even more that scurried off when i went to take their picture.. they are noisey little buggers (i don't know why i wouldn't think they would croak like chickens or geese).. Ben is sharpening his Bow hunting skills for Turkey/Deer season to start in Nov (i think) i think he's a little excited, we have known we've had some turkey's in the back yard but we've only ever seen 2 or 3 at the most.. so this was quite an exciting development.. they usually emerge after a good rain (it rained last night)... anyway the joys of living in the country!!

By the way, did you know they can fly!! check out the pic of the Turkey high in the tree!!!

So the fact that the thunder storm zapped my little tv in my computer room i guess is forgiven if it brought the Turkey bounty.. we thought it had zapped the living room one too (the one thats less than a year old!!) but it came back to life this morning (dont ask me how!) but the little one that keeps me company when i'm foldling laundry or paying bills is toast, unless i want to watch in purple and green..
ta ta for now!
