Good morning, Steemians! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I managed to get most, (12 of our 15,) of the turkeys in this picture. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The pigeons coming in for their breakfast. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Snowflakes falling on the Snow Buntings. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The sun breaking through the clouds. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Some of our pretty sunrise colours. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Here comes the sun. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I had to snap this shot from a gap in the door and frame, so I would scare the turkeys away before I could get a picture of them. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I made a double coffee cake on Wednesday. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The Tom turkeys arenโ€™t letting the gloomy grey sky and snow dampen their display as they put on a show for their lady friends. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The blizzard got worse, and the turkeys headed back into the woods for shelter. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The three Tomโ€™s we have dubbed โ€œthe Tripletsโ€ heading over my way as theyโ€™re being pummeled by snow. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The turkeys heading up our driveway and across the road into the woods during yet another blizzard this week, man Iโ€™m so ready for winter to go away. ๐Ÿ˜Š
image.png
We arenโ€™t sure why this loaf got so wide in the middle, but it didnโ€™t change the taste at all, it was yummy and didnโ€™t make it through the weekend. ๐Ÿ˜Š
image.png
If the wind hadnโ€™t been so brutal this week, we could have had some nice long chats with our squirrels, but as cold as it was, we only got out for a few minutes at a time. ๐Ÿ˜Š

We got to visit with Victoria (pictured) and Victor again this week. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The first egg to break open in the incubator yesterday. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The turkeys walking across our front yard pasture, heading over to visit our neighbour. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Our first hatchling of 2023, taking a break after freeing itself from its egg. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The second hatchling. ๐Ÿ˜Š
image.png
I managed to snag this shot of the show before they spotted me this morning. ๐Ÿ˜Š
image.png
Three of our five (so far) hatchlings have dried off and are now settled in their temporary home in the basement as its too cold for them to be in the barn still here and they need to grow a bit before we introduce them to the flock. ๐Ÿ˜Š
image.png
Our son is coming for a visit, so I made a few batches of cinnamon buns for us to enjoy and send home with him for our daughter-in-law and grandchildren, just waiting on them to cool enough for the icing. ๐Ÿ˜Š
image.png
Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! ๐Ÿ˜Š Iโ€™m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. ๐Ÿ˜Š God bless you all. ๐Ÿ˜Š Have an awesome week everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š

That is fantastic! The turkey and squirrel pics were very enjoyable. The food looked so delicious, and that incubator is about to get really busy! So cute to see the first couple out and fluffy already!!

Welcome back my friend, thanks for visiting! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you very much. We have a lot of fun just watching them move around the property...better than any television show out there, at least to us. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I know some may find this hard to believe, but I never learned how to cook until later in life. My food was nothing to write home about, store made or from a box and usually not so pretty to look at if I'm totally honest. I only started cooking from scratch last year, (thanks to the simplest tortilla recipe that I found on the YouTube channel of the lovely lady from Simply Mama Cooks,) so it makes me feel good that you thought my food looked delicious. Thank you, again. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Yes our incubator is occupied a second time, but our power went out a few days ago and stayed off for about 3 hours, so we're not sure this next batch will be any good. Lord willing, they'll be fine and we have a new flock of layers to replace any aging hens and a few to share with our neighbour once he's got his coop all set up. ๐Ÿ˜Š

I've got to go get my blog written and posted, so I'll have to say goodbye for now and chat with you again soon. ๐Ÿ˜Š

God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! #&128522;
