Tuesday’s Picture

August 4, 2009 By Carole

A friend of ours told us about an abandoned field of blueberry bushes so last weekend we went in search of it.  We found it but it was really overgrown and the blueberries weren’t very accessible.  The trip wasn’t a total bust, though, as we spotted this flock of wild turkeys in a nearby yard.

It’s nice to see the critters are doing so well in our area these days.  Makes me feel all Pilgrimy.

    My first glimpse of wild turkey youngin’s. I’ve seen the occasional, elusive wild turkey in Gatlinburg, TN.

    We’ve had one hanging around our neighborhood for over a week. I found him in my yard yesterday eating fallen bird seed- rather startling and big. Hopefully he ate some grubs and bugs while he was at it.

    Wild turkeys have become commonplace in Rockport, especially near the golf course. They menace the mail carriers, and advice has been sought from the Audubon Society. At some seasons, they even attack passing cars and halt traffic. The males can rise up somehow to look mighty big, as tall as a human — and fierce. (I wonder how they taste……?)

    i don’t think i’ve ever seen wild turkeys before. Cool picture. Too bad about the blueberries though.

    Turkeys scare me… I’m not sure why.
    It is too bad about the blueberries…

    Cute little babies. While cross-country skiing, my younger girl and I came upon four hens. So pretty in the snow. I had never thought a turkey “pretty” until then.

    I spotted a bunch of wild turkeys grazing near the road a couple days ago, too. Wonder if they were the same ones? 😉

    I bet they ate all the easy to get to blueberries.

    I love the smell of blueberries in the air near the woods. Reminds me of beign a little kid when I loved to pick them but not eat them, I know better now 😉

    Maybe the turkeys gobbled up all the blueberries?

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
