Yesterday & the day b4 were the 1st 2 days above freezing with sunshine in well over a month. I was out with the chopper thing chopping & chipping ice off the driveway in anticipation of tonight's 6-9" forecasted snowfall.<BR/>Aren't turkeys too funny? My husband & I made friends with 1 at a small zoo near where we used to work.

Maybe becasue I have never been around them much. <BR/><BR/>We are now seeing the Wild Turkeys out in the fields more around here.

I'd have a few turkeys as pets because they amuse me. Did you gobble at them? Did they gobble back? (it's one of those odd things I do--talk to turkeys.)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-75188412048152198792008-02-24T17:44:00.000-05:002008-02-24T17:44:00.000-05:00Nancy ~ I love those turkeys, too!

They're only open for a day or so, but I check it nearly every hour now. LOL. And I don't know why I've got bulbs up! As I said before, they were up a full month before last year, but of course, they've stagnated for now. The sun melted some of the snow away today and they do look the same as they did a few weeks ago. So don't feel bad. Yours probably want to just keep going once they've started.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-90923671180740138422008-02-24T16:17:00.000-05:002008-02-24T16:17:00.000-05:00By the way, why do you think that your spring bulb...By the way, why do you think that your spring bulbs are showing foliage when NONE of mine (even the snowdrops and winter aconite) are peeping at all in my garden?

I-9, which in turn follows the curve of the Blanchard River (although not as much as it did before the road and bridge were redone in 1997) and the edges of his fields have that curve to them, too. Seeing your picture brought all of that back. :)<BR/><BR/>(And I don't blame you for being impatient for the passionflower vine to bloom.

They've been around since early last spring, so maybe not! I really think they're pretty and not something you see every day as you stroll down the road! I need to tell the tale of the peacocks one of these days, don't I? ;-)<BR/><BR/><B>Sky ~</B> Oh, but we haven't yet had that warmish taste of spring yet! In previous years, we have had a teaser day or two by now, but not yet this year. The ground is still frozen here, although I just went out and in the open spaces between the snow, I did faintly hear a squish as I walked, so maybe a thaw is coming after all.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-87085714752197403162008-02-24T14:41:00.000-05:002008-02-24T14:41:00.000-05:00I think we all do fairly well until we taste a bit...I think we all do fairly well until we taste a bit of sunshine, see the spring changes in the landscape and in nature, feel the warmth on our skin and peel off one layer of clothing. Then we become hungry for spring and have difficulty moving backward. At that point more snow and cold spells are simply not welcome. <BR/><BR/>It has been a long, drizzly winter for us in the Pacific NW. We got very little snow here in the western part of the state, but we got tons of rain for months. The Cascades, east of us, were inundated with snow; interstate 90 was closed due to avalanche control more times than I can count.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping we are all picking our daffodils soon!Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02523247895437700129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-33366209313862629282008-02-24T14:26:00.000-05:002008-02-24T14:26:00.000-05:00I'm SO sick of winter too .. cabin fever .. fever ...I'm SO sick of winter too .. cabin fever .. fever in general ?
