At 7:30 the front was like a turkey fest. At least 8 turkeys were pecking at the ground. Since the beginning of summer, these turkeys have really grown! We watched them walk down to the river in a shoulder to shoulder formation and when they disappeared (briefly - out of sight) Carlo said maybe they had gotten on a gravy boat! (now that was funny!).
We've never seen them feed so close to the river before and when they came back into view they stayed there for quite awhile before running off into the woods.
There was a lot of fog among the trees and over the river. The ground was covered with leaves - and there were still a lot of leaves in the trees...we have a lot of trees! It seems some of them changed colors as they were falling because the ones on the ground are no longer green and the ones in trees (for the most part) still are - what a crazy season!
More 'izing' took place this day. We loaded the deck storage bin with wood, put away the rockers, our welcome sign, and some solar lights...(ones that were safe from the trimmer).
We made another trip to town to return the dead shrub, pick up seed and a new feeder, of course a trip to Fashion Bug and Walmart were included too. A stop at the farm stand, for our last purchase of the season allowed Carlo to explain to me about the advantages of the adventurous and creative squirrels and other critters that can articulate a pumpkin for easy access. (insert some laughter right here!!!!) We had lunch at Wendy's and visited Paul and Betty on the way back. They gave us a plethora of tomatoes from their garden...looks like it's time for the preparation of the Karen Sauce recipe!
Along the route, Carlo gave in to my taking more pictures of 'my neighborhood'.
We finished up by putting out some pumpkins, installing a thermometer to keep tabs on the crawl space and we drained the cabin. Let hope all our efforts of insulating pay off until we can return for our next visit!
