Pass the gravy.....

Today we were paid a visit by a small flock of wild turkeys. I always thought wild turkeys were somewhat elusive, but these didn't seem intimidated by people at all. As a matter of fact, Matt thinks they may have been the same turkeys he saw hanging around the campground last spring that were just chicks at the time. I would have to agree with him. He said he had fed them bird seed last spring, and today he went and got some seed and as soon as they saw him throwing it, they came waddling right up and started having their own little feast.

I took some photos and even some crappy video which I will post because thing
s have been boring around here. We were somewhat "snowed in" this morning. I did make it into town this afternoon. The road down the mountain is the biggest problem because parts of it don't get any sun at all.

Hopefully it will be melted enough tomorrow to go to my pottery class. We'll be loading the salt kiln for the last firing.

Thursday we're going to head north to Indianapolis for Megan's
baby shower on Saturday. It will be great to see the family. Then in a few short weeks we'll be heading up there for good.

It's hard to believe that our stay here is almost over. We've made some great friends and I'm going to miss them and the mountains.

And the turkeys......






.....these are either turkey tracks, or peace signs made by vandalous hippies!
