Gobble, gobble!

I saw these three ladies last week...on back in the edge of the woods were a couple of toms but I could not get a shot of them for all the weeds in front of them. Just in a couple weeks it will be turkey hunting season here...along about the time of morel mushrooms.
*************
We are getting ready to head to Walmart....I have put off going as long as I can. I need to pick some supplies. I hate to think about what my bill will be....but it would be so much worse if not for Walmart. We do not have Meijer near here at all, and really only have a Kmart on the south end of Terre Haute. So it is Walmart for us.

I would not mind the shopping so bad if I didn't have to come home and put everything away!

Here's the first part


Sarah thought she had sent me this part, but she hadn't....and I didn't know it existed so I went ahead and posted the video below, but this is the first part of it.

She makes up her own songs and just sings and has the biggest smile on her face....but you cannot understand a word she says.

When out driving, Lorelei done tells Sarah and Jeremy to turn here, or turn this way, tells them to 'Go!' when they are at a stop light, and a few days ago Sarah had taken her for a drive to try to get her to go to sleep. She finally just gave up and turned back into their neighborhood and Lorelei said, "No, Mommy! Go, go, go!' So, Sarah just passed through and she went on to sleep in just a few miles.

A sure sign that spring has arrived....

We got up to thunderstorms this morn...they rolled around, left and then came back a time or two. Everything got a good soaking...in fact, some places still have puddles of water even though the sun was out before noon.
You might think the sure sign of spring I was talking about is the thunderstorms, but in fact, I meant that the buzzards are back in full force. Roger worked around in his shop all morn, while I fooled in here...playing on the computer and making a meatloaf...about the time we got done with lunch a friend of mine stopped by. I ask her if she wanted a bite to eat, but she didn't care for anything. We took our Cokes and sat on the front porch in the shade and visited for a few minutes.
After she left, Roger and I decided to go for a drive. Any direction we looked, we saw buzzards circling. I do not know what about this area draws them, but there are just so many of them. Last year they were like this, and we went down south of Terre Haute at least a couple of different times, and hardly saw any. We both just could not believe the difference in the number.

Now, I saw a few along all winter on the way to Sarah's house...but it would be like one or two. And only that...oh, and speaking of Sarah's house....here is a little video that she sent me of a new singing star. Enjoy!
