Turkeys

Look at that.  Our, or I should say, my new endeavor.  Honey says "This one is all yours."  I don't know much of anything about turkeys, but a lady traded me 10 turkeys for some hay.  Now I have to figure out how to butcher.  Thankfully I have experienced friends willing to teach.  I think that turkeys may not be the brightest bulbs in the pack, but they like me.  When they hear my voice, they come running.  They follow me around the pasture.  What's not to like?  They make that cool noise.  They also make a great Thanksgiving.


Today is the last day of bible school.  My dd #2 is going to be teaching the preschool class and dd#1 will be helping me help a friend move haying equipment.  Then she'll be cutting our hay when we get home.  I have to finish the garden fence because the chickens have been eating all of my broccoli and strawberries.  When the tomatoes get ripe, I'll really be in trouble.


Life is good.  God is good.


Bring glory to Him in all you do.
