I still have a backyard gate to get fixed and this will be our last warm day to get it done. We have a few turkeys running wild up here but not like they do in southern Iowa. We have huge flocks of Canadas in the area resting before they move on farther south. L.

Normally, we wouldn't have to worry about survival gear, as we wouldn't be driving in really bad weather in the first place, and the nearest house is never far away. If we decide to drive to Oliver, we wait for a break in the weather, and do carry appropriate supplies.<br />The turkeys are great, and not something we see here:)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-12432106320265171302013-12-02T09:31:42.734-06:002013-12-02T09:31:42.734-06:00Awesome shot of the turkeys!!

I got the tree out of the box - - new one this year - - and the handle on one of the screw bolts for the stand hits the leg when you twist it so I have to go by a hardware store first before I can put the tree up!!! Bad engineering. However, the first gift gets given today - - to our pest control man - - - good, good guy who does a phenomenal job.<br />I also read your blog with the grandkids pics. They are an extremely good looking bunch and look like they enjoy each other's company. I have followed you for a very few years now and have enjoyed watching them grow. Will you be doing some comparison blogs on them sometime with then and now pics?<br />One thing, too, about your weather is it definitely puts our cold days in perspective!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-35189269068766763342013-12-02T07:44:57.647-06:002013-12-02T07:44:57.647-06:00I have never seen that many wild turkeys together!...I have never seen that many wild turkeys together!
