The Wild

One of my favorite blogs is Chickens In The Road.  Suzanne has a lone Goose and recently purchased a group of baby ducks.  With all this rain the ducks were outside loving it when the goose realized they were "related".  Now he was no longer alone and took to parenting in a big way.

This reminded me of the first time I saw the wild turkeys that live in the neighboring woods.  I had just rounded a curve in the road when ahead of me I saw the "family".  Mama in front, papa in back, and all the babies in between.  Mama had almost crossed the road when the family saw me.  Naturally I had come to a complete stop when I saw them.

Mama and papa realized I wasn't moving and remained calm.  The babies, on the other hand, freaked out.   Some ran to mama, some to papa, some back and forth, and one so terrified it ran in circles.   How I wish I had a camera at the time.

I found it amazing to watch the parents.   They both just stood, calm, looking their babies in the eye until they all calmed down.   The parents looked at me as if to say "all is well, we'll be out of your way in a second".

Communicating with the wild, untamed animals touches one's soul.  It was not the first time for me, just the first with turkeys.

The hard part in all this?  You have to get up EARLY, and I do mean "early", to see the wild ones!

9/11



It's been a day of remembering and reflecting.   Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families and friends who lost their loved ones on this terrible day.   The first responders and everyone helping with the cleanup are suffering greatly for their selflessness,   you are in our hearts and prayers, we have not forgotten. 




I found this in one of my old posts and it spoke to my heart today.  Perhaps it will speak to yours.

It's humor Monday

Comments can be as funny as some of the spam e-mails we receive.   I got a real kick out of this one......

"The emergence of little huge absolutely corporate, almost national, and international marketing chains and companies."

This comment had an address....but of course I wouldn't want anyone to click on it. 

Here's hoping the nice long rain we got today finds its way to Texas!

Food....the ultimate tease!

The Animal Rescue Site is one of my favorites.  Where else can one donate free food with the ease of one click?   The site features a rescue story each day which I heart reading.

Today's story has a twist to it...it's always nice to start the day with a good laugh so......
