What a great day

Suns out, it's warm, well as warm as it could be as it could be for the middle of winter right after a major storm. The critters are out and having a great time. It's so interesting watching the young squirrels running around. Exploring everything they can find. The male turkeys came by, this is the dominate group because there's Tom & Jerry's group too. Tom and Jerry have nine males which they are training to be the next dominate group. Not this year and maybe not next year but soon they get all the hens. I think the rotation of who's the boss is something to do with inbreeding. If one group is always in charge then the gene pool will become stagnant and have mutant birds. When I moved here Tom and Jerry were the top birds. Then Manny, Moe and Jack took over. There group has twelve birds and are at least three years old. Tom and Jerry are the old birds and best I can guess they are around five or six years old.

I'm dusted and need a nap. The coffee has done it's job and is fading. Digging the trench along the road for water drainage just done me in. The dirt was was full of gravel. It's so hard to dig through this stuff. It's mostly pick and rake work. The shovel is only good to put gobs of mud and rock on the road. I'll string a line and get a slop tomorrow. For now it's nap time and watch the critters get there dinner. Another cup of coffee and maybe I'll work on the web site. Na, nap time.
