Libby & I took our morning walk in a light mist that turned into a heavy sprinkle of rain. The other morning, we found a treasure of recently hatched turkey eggs that are suprisingly large in size and speckled with brown spots. We went out later with a bucket and collected what was left, but some had been trampled by critters. Today, on our walk our treasure was a perfect turkey feather that I will add to a fresh floral arrangement for our Open House (yes there is a life beyond the Open House preparations, and at this point in the countdown that "life" are my daily walks with Libby! Not a bad life, for sure).
Turns out that the turkeys must have been roosting in the trees directly above our path, because as we walked they created quite a stir as they clumsily flew from one tree to another. They also created a shower of rain that fell down on our heads. Libby had a ball and was grinning from puppy from one puppy ear to the other!
All in all, it was a remarkably muddy adventure and required some hosing down before we went back inside. It was so exciting that Libby is now down for a nap. Oh the life of a very happy dog and her person!
No naps for Mom, though as the countdown is only 2 days left for Open House. See my website for details at www.fireflygardensbypam.com Today, my to-do list has design fresh florals on it, which is loads of fun. I picked up the flowers from local sellers yesterday, and let them soak up water overnight, so taday the ygo into the myriad of vintage containers that I have collected throughout the year. Along with feathers, I'll add in some unexpected surprises like curly willow and fresh herbs. The rosemary smells delicious!
