I had just come in from shoveling aged mulch bark...a dirty, dusty job... and I was thinking about a nice iced coffee when "all of a sudden, up on the roof, I heard such a clatter (well, thuds, actually) of tiny reindeer hooves..." but wait a second...no "Ho, Ho, Ho" from Santa...just a weird "gobble, 'obble" sound. Suddenly, a squadron of C47's took flight (8 or 10)...too quickly to get to my phone for a photo...the flock of wild turkeys took off, going south from our rooftop.
They do wander around the neighborhoods of east Medford and their numbers have increased to pose a annoyance in town...there'd been talk of turkey trapping and relocation...until one resident pointed out that they do fly and would just find their way back unless they were bused to, say, northern California or the Willamette Valley. but first you'd have to catch them...they're mean gals and guys when they get agitated! And did I mention their, ah, poop? Oye!
So meanwhile, we just try to avoid running over them when they take a notion to cross the street...usually getting about to the center and then changing their minds. Or they dither while the lead turkey says, "Oh look over there...what's that?...Let's go that way...No, maybe not, well, then let's go back...But that still looks good over there..." This can go on for some time and blowing a horn won't help...it just confuses them more, causing great flapping but no significant change.
So I guess we'll just consider them our east Medford version of huge pigeons...
I think about SPRING and plan my spring wardrobe...a nice bright cherry & cheery color in an organic cotton shirt that I'm looking forward to wearing. With silver hair and more of an ash tone in my brown locks, saturated colors are my new best friends in the wardrobe department.
More silver all the time
A fun kimono jacket that I found at TJMaxx for $15, paired with a yellow ochre tee. I'll wear my natural linen slacks or white crops with it.
A foundation brush for my Clarisonic...it really does make my foundation go on much smoother...amazing results!
Another find from TJMaxx...the only one on the shelf, so I snapped up this leather purse made in Tuscany! It smells so good!
Now what about sandals...? Time to do an "inventory" of my shoe storage box. but maybe not just now...Is that the sun coming out? OOOOh...I might get out in the garden after all!
