Good morning, Hive-ians! 😊
Our little flock of turkeys has become a flock of 15, five Toms and 10 hens. Here’s a shot of a couple of Tom’s snacking under the apple trees. 😊
These onions are now two-weeks old. 😊
Our beautiful grand puppy Mya has figured out that if she stands on the toilet lid and puts her paws up on the back of it then she’s the perfect height to look out the window and watch the turkeys, squirrels, etc… She’s so happy while she’s standing there, but she vibrates like crazy trying to restrain from barking and scaring them all away and ruining her show. LOL! 😊
Taking a deep breath and feeling blessed as the sun sets. 😊
My handsome husband, (seen here with most of them,) and I have spoiled our dogs to the point that they feel they should be allowed to sit in the most comfortable spots/positions for them and we need to adapt to accommodate them, which we do, they’ve trained us well. LOL! 😊
God shared with us some stunning sunrise colours this week. 😊
It’s been impossible, so far, to get a picture of all 15 turkeys at once, some always scatter when I try, it’s like they can sense the camera and scoot. 😊
A couple of freshly baked cakes cooling. 😊
After I made some fresh tortillas for tacos, my handsome husband took a few and sliced them up for an experiment. He coated the slices with some olive oil, some Mrs. Dash, salt, garlic and parmesan cheese before putting them into the rotisserie to cook for a few minutes. They came out somewhere between a cracker and a potato chips texture and crunchiness and are now our new favourite snack. 😊
We candled our incubating eggs last night and saw signs of life in all but one egg and while we were looking at this egg it moved inside, which was very cool to see. 😊
The Tom’s putting on a show for the hens. 😊
One of our Chickadees stopped by for a snack and chat. 😊
We were joined by Victoria and Victor, a female and male squirrel that both have similar colouring and exactly the same physique and tail, (I can’t remember which one this one is, but I’m thinking Victoria as the females are less skittish around me and I was less than two feet away from them here,) and we all hung out until I got cold and had to go back inside. 😊
Some of our turkey’s playing on our snow hills. 😊
My handsome husband said these were the finest turkey butts he’s ever seen, LOL. 😊
A couple of Cravens (Crows/Ravens combined as I can’t tell them apart) came by to hang out on the snow hills with the turkeys. 😊
The pigeons photobombing my shots of the turkeys. 😊
Turkeys working their way up our driveway towards our front yard. 😊
Tom’s dancing on the snow hill while the hens scratch the snow beside them. 😊
The display when all five males are together is quite pretty. 😊
Some of our pigeons and turkeys hanging out in the front yard, making the dogs crazy. 😊
Its always a surprise to going in the bathroom and finding our beautiful grand puppy Mya standing on the toilet so she can watch the turkeys, pigeons, and squirrels. She’s so focused that she doesn’t even notice me. 😊
God has blessed us with some stunning sunset colours this week, like these glorious oranges and yellows. 😊
We got more snow this week, but that didn’t stop our turkeys from coming by, here they are in our garden. 😊
We made three loaves of bread to get us through the weekend. 😊
The pigeons photobombing my turkey pictures, again, yesterday. 😊
(Turkeys braving the blizzard for breakfast this morning.)
Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! 😊 I’m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. 😊 God bless you all. 😊 Have an awesome week everyone! 😊

Your puppy is funny standing on the toilet to watch birds. :))
Welcome back lovely lady, thanks for visiting! 😊
She is so cute. She stands there and stares at you until you tell her its okay and then she shoots up there so fast that she scares whatever she's trying to see, or she goes into stealth mode, sneaks up onto the toilet and slowly lift her head up to peak out. It's hilarious as we never know which mode she's going to choose until she decides herself. LOL! 😊
My handsome husband thinks that she's going to teach the others how to get up there and then we'll start walking in on different dogs up there. I hope he's wrong, because, well, how can I say this nicely...lets just say, most of our dogs (and myself, for that matter) exceed the weight limit for standing on the middle of a toilet seat lid and I wouldn't trust it to hold any of us up. 😊
I did wonder about that when you said maybe they'd all learn it...
I wonder about it every time I stand up there to look out the window too. I'm smart enough to stand along the sides of the lid (over the actual seat) though, so I should be safe, for a while. I just hope I'm "camera ready" if one of us does go through the lid, it would be quite a show, LOL! 😊
