Your picturesque descriptions of the turkeys catching bugs brought to my mind's eye, our guineas , how they leapt, twirled & pirouetted, at every passing beetle or gnat as the helmetted flock of them went about their daily patrol. Just as you said, hardly a winged or crawling insect escaped their beady eyes & snapping beaks. I enjoyed your walk about the Farmy fields with Boo, looking across to the barn & chook house. The Friendship Woods along the Ditch has really grown thick & beautiful. You know it harbors & sustains myriad wildlife & brakes the fearsome gusts. Thank you for taking us along.

Your storytelling is delightful Cecilia.

Your description of the turkeys is pure comedy gold. I particularly enjoyed the image of them as reluctant runway models, "clasping their cloak wings tight like models in some wildly imagined European fashion show."

Happy Monday!
