We have spotted some wild turkey in the past but today set a record. Julie looked out the bathroom window and saw not a partridge in a pear tree but a turkey in our crab tree.

Later I went to the front of the house and watched a parade of 24 turkeys go out the driveway, turn right, and head for our neighbors.
I couldn't get all of them in the picture because there was one independent type who turned left.

I use a table in the backyard to indicate snowfall for the winter. We received our first measurable snow on December 4th, three inches. Eight more fell on the ninth as shown in the first picture. On the thirteenth we got three more inches shown in the second picture.

"Good books ruin you for enjoying bad books." This is a quote from The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society which I think is very true.

I just finished resding The Guersing Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It's a very entertaining, informative, and "feel-good" book. It's written in the form of letters between the heroine, Juliet, to and from major and minor players in the story. It reads as non-fiction and it is easy to forget that it is a work of fiction. I recommend it for all.
