I would be alarmed if I saw what you observed too, but of course people don't welcome comment! Never been chased by our wild turkeys which are smaller than the American ones. They are more likely to run away from us. I'm always happy to eat poultry, I must admit. Duck is one of my favourite meats.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-38293038889745743662017-04-12T13:59:17.636-07:002017-04-12T13:59:17.636-07:00Yikes a typo -- "equally worried about head i...Yikes a typo -- "equally worried about head injuries as I am about death."Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-55173216494454351492017-04-12T08:56:34.679-07:002017-04-12T08:56:34.679-07:00Oh no!

Evidence of global warming, dispite the silly nay sayers.<br /><br />I saw a little boy yesterday jump up and grab onto a subway entrance railing. It peered over a very steep drop (where you take an escalator down to the subway). This alarmed me, but not his father. So would I survive raising boys? You can't make them afraid of everything, and I would be splitting hairs trying to figure out where to let them take risks (like climbing trees) verses setting limits so they don't kill themselves. I am equally as worried about head injuries and I am about death.<br /><br />Have you ever been chased by wild turkeys, Trish? There are some very funny YouTube videos of people running from packs of what looks like aggressive gangstra turkeys. Watching the clips help me to feel less guilty about my Thanksgiving dinner.<br /><br />Glad to read your doings,<br />DebbieDebra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-82604326811276352192017-04-12T02:36:32.453-07:002017-04-12T02:36:32.453-07:00Indeed, a lovely surprise - what perfect timing! ...Indeed, a lovely surprise - what perfect timing!

The boy sure is growing, and he wears me out wanting to play running about the yard, climbing things to frighten me, then having a good laugh!

But the lad has quite an appetite for carbs, and polished it off. I think he is growing those long limbs because he is quite slender. <br />I am in love with my little white cupboard - funny the things which bring us delight! <br />We put a blanket on our bed - our idea of snuggle.
