Peeking over the fence at me!

 Yesterday when I was driving home from grocery shopping I noticed "our" large flock of turkeys  at the neighbor's house.  Of course I had my camera with me so I stopped on the road & got out to take some photos!  Most all of these are cropped because if you get to close they run away! 
 That big fan tail!
 large sized turkeys
Making their way across the street--headed to my house!  After I got home & put away the groceries, they were on the hill behind the house cackling away!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 My maternal grandfather's name was Peter Patrick Carney--do you think he was Irish?  Don't own much of anything kelly green except these socks that I haul out once a year!  Erin Go Bragh!  The Gaelic  is "Éirinn go brách, meaning Ireland Forever

Tranquility

 I've always loved this spot  here in town--I drive by it on the way to the vets & I  have made that trip numerous times over the years!  Today I had to go pick up a refill for Rafe's Deramaxx pills & when I went by I noticed a for sale sign. I told Alan about it when I got home.......

Here's the house that goes with the pond
So I decided I'd look it up to see how much it is being sold for ( not that we're looking!--just wanted to know)
Here's what I found.....  Well, I can dream can't I?  On the site I looked at it was the most expensive place on the market here in town!    Yikes!

What a Nice Surprise!

 I walked outside late this morning & saw that the croci had bloomed!  It's only mid march!  Crazy weather we're having here in NE! ( and many other parts of the world...)

Touch Up Tuesday

 Back to posting more photos from our Isla Mujeres trip. I enhanced a few of these photos ( hence the name Touch Up Tuesday!)--so first is the enhanced & then the original.
 Late one afternoon I went down to Playa Norte to watch the sunset and spotted this bird standing on the pylons right in front  of Buho's.
 At first I thought that one of his feet must be stuck somehow--watched the bird for what seemed like a long time--probably was only 20 minutes
 Just held its wings open like it was airing them out!
 I turned away to see some of the sunset & when I looked back, it had flown away!

A Bit of Nostalgia

 Do you remember having these as a kid?  I do & quite often if you have great memories of something from childhood, it's not the same as an adult.  I bought a package of these --watermelon slices at Vasilows last week--boy are they tasty!  I think even better than I remember!  I love coconut & that's what these are--probably mostly coconut & sugar--yummy!
