My Midget White turkeys are getting bigger. They are too big for my precious Blue Willow teacup, so I took Mildred's advice and bought a bigger teacup! The teacup doubles as a planter when the turkeys aren't posing, but I suppose I could use it as a punchbowl too. The turkey does not look so big here,
but when he stands up you can see he is growing rapidly. If this turkey were a Standard breed of turkey he would be quite a bit bigger at this same age and would not fit into this teacup at all.
Look at how tall my Midget White turkey is now! I believe this turkey is a Tom. He is so funny and friendly. The other turkey poults are too and I have fun "chirping" with them. When I chirp with them they run up to see me and cock their heads just so to see me more clearly.
The weather has been pretty much non-stop rain, and today we had thunder and lightening. My front yard is so wet I have to roll up my pants to walk across it. The ducks aren't even bothering with the pond, they have all the water they need everywhere else. The wet, cool weather is just perfect for a good soup dinner. We had asparagus soup, toast, and steak. The recipe for the asparagus soup can be found at
Mary's One Perfect Bite* . The soup is delicious! Next time I will make home made bread and salad to go with this soup.
Looks like we will be having rain for the next few days and I will be working at my loom and in between rains I hope to clean several animal pens. Seems lately the biggest chore is keeping my poor chickens and sheep out of the mud which is hard work and leaves me very tired and sore in the evenings.Well worth the work though, to me. If the sunshine comes out to play I might not post for a few days because we have a lot of "catch-up" to do around here thanks to record rainfall for this time of year. Life in a wet state, LOVE IT!
