Like every household, I have a "To Do" list that is never-ending.
Take tonight, for example. I should be picking the ripe pears on our pear tree.
Yes, we have a pear tree.
In Wisconsin.
There they hang, with the ladder beside the tree, visible from my office window where I now sit, taunting me with their "Do This Now" attitude.
(WI pears have attitude, in case you weren't aware.)
Instead I spent some extra time sitting in the fenced in yard with my youngest batch of chickens, which also includes a handful of Guinea fowl and turkeys.
For some reason, despite the rest of this flock being wild beyond wild, these turkeys are tame as tame can be.
And if I happen to be sitting in their yard around sunset, the two females have decided that I make about as good a roost as any in the coop.
A note about a turkey roosting on your shoulder, or head - their happy little peeping noises that are so endearing are SUPER LOUD when expressed right into your ear.
Nevermind though, I'm in heaven.
The pears will have to wait.
Cheers -
