Yesterday I was working in the storage room in the basement and heard Max growling. He was pretty worked up, so I went to see what was up. On our backporch were FIVE HUGE TURKEYS! I really mean HUGE--they freaked me out a bit, okay a lot. I was jumping around and yelling, but nobody else was home to respond. (It's okay you can chuckle and smile at that visual! I know I am a freak!) They were seriously close to five feet tall, had these nasty, big red heads and lots of fat black feathers. Not attractive birds! I ran to get my camera (once I realized they weren't getting inside the house) but they were startled by my movement and ran away. Maybe next time. Ugh! will there be a next time??!!?? I guess I can provide the turkey for Thanksgiving, but I am not plucking it! Illinois wildlife--another great BONUS!?! of country life.
Katie- I would have been freaking out too! You should have seen me jump up and down at fish lake when their was a spider in our room... I even ran out of the room and the whole family was in the front room, yes talk about embarrassing. Sometimes it is better when no one is around!
ReplyDeleteI guess you need a be be gun perhaps for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Max was able to make a friend. That dog gets lonely when I'm not there. haha
ReplyDeleteWe could pool our native resourses this Thanksgiving- you bring the Turkey we'll bring the "armidilla".
ReplyDeleteDear Santa, All I want for Christmas is my very own Red Rider BB gun! Love, Ralphiekate
