WHAT WAS I THINKING?

 

 Yesterday, Rachel said, "you see those green water tanks on the hill?  That's High Country."  I was NOT thinking clearly and said, "Well, let's run that tomorrow!" BAD idea.

 We ran from her house, which is 20 yards away from where we were in this pix, and ran up the hill to the houses you see in the background, and up on the side of the mountain.  It was crazy steep.  uphills like I'd never seen before, and when it wasn't super steep, it was super windy.  I'm glad I survived.  It was tough!!

 We saw 4 deer at one house, and another group of them in the brush on the hill.  Then we saw a flock of game birds.  We were almost home when bada-bing, what do you know?  A parade of turkeys!!!

The little rooster in front was cock-a-doodle-doing himself crazy, and the toms and hens were gobble, gobble, gobbling in their crazy turkey voices.  It was the best thing ever.  A Thanksgiving Parade, just for RAD & me!!

When we got home, I told RAD's little boy we saw a Turkey Parade and I showed him the photo.  He asked me, "Did the turkeys throw candy at you?"

Still laughing every time I think about it.  Good times :-)

My 12-year-old daughter just watched a "Nature" on PBS about turkeys this week. She saw a bunch of baby chicks and was oooing and aahhhing over them. I'm afraid she will cry during thanksgiving dinner.

Good times, GOod times. Who would have known that running in the cold could be so much fun.

Happy Turkey Day my Pirate friend.
