Cold, Slopy Weather

Todays weather is crazy! Switching back & forth from rain to snow. Most of the snow that was already on the ground is still frozen, but the rain/snow that is falling now is not freezing (yet) so it is extremely slick! By 4 or 5 this evening the whole thing will freeze again and unless we get some real snow tonight, tomorrow is going to be a real mess! This is bad for me because I have an appointment to get my studded tires on.





These pictures were taken just after sunrise on October 25th after the first real snowfall of this season. It didn't get quite cold enough to freeze the lake yet, but in spite of all the slush we have right now, the lake is frozen now.














I have been worried about the turkeys with the temperature dropping down to the high teens, surprisingly they don't seem to be to effected by the cold. The young toms are starting to be more confident and are strutting (and gobbling) more all the time! Hopefully I can get some good pics soon! Oh, also, good news! Looks like they are finally making their way back to the barn! That is a real good thing because it is heated.

You might want to think twice before calling someone a "turkey", they are alot smarter than you think!!
