It is cool here this morning with frost. I had a cup of hot chocolate and threw another log on the fire. It is warm and cozy inside. Yesterday afternoon there were nine turkeys out in the yard in the morning and again in the afternoon. I think they make a big circle through the woods and roost somewhere on our property. I put some warm clothes on and threw some cracked corn out in the woods where I saw them go in yesterday. Might as well have fat turkeys….smile. I enjoy watching them. I also put out the game camera hoping to get some pictures of the deer we know run around mostly after dark. Last year we made a joke about connecting the camera to the computer and see an eight-point buck. Well, we did! We were both surprised.
I also put bird food out…we have black capped chickadees, yellow and purple finches, titmouses, cardinals, and other assorted feathered friends. I love watching the birds while I wash dishes. You have to believe in a Creator when you see all the colors, sizes, and shapes. Blows my little four cylinder imagination.
Turned on the waterpond. Haven’t seen the koi in over a month. They are buried down in the bottom. all the little birds love to jump on the rocks and get a drink. I have seen them standing in the waterfall or just on the side. They even fight over who gets the best place. How you determine the best place for a bird to be only a bird knows. I will watch the western windows looking for “my” turkeys and see if they like my offering of corn.
A little crazy in every day is a good thing. I’m making banana bread this afternoon, cleaning up the kitchen while listening to the TransSiberian Orchestra Christmas CD. I love all the electric guitars etc. My little pomeranian Annie, doesn’t like rock music of any kind. It usually makes her jumpy. My husband would agree with her. I was cleaning the mixer and it thumped on the counter. Annie starts barking, TransSiberian is banging away and I’m thinking it is a short trip between where I live and the nuthouse…..snicker. Brought a smile to my face.
Looking forward to the first real snow and not just a dusting. Until next time,
Country Grannie
