I was driving over the hill the other day and saw seven wild turkey so I came home and made a wild turkey platter. Over the years I've seen a lot of wild turkey but I've never seen one with it's tail feathers on display. Perhaps I need to see them during the mating season.
The other day we got our propane delivery and just in time. A few days later it got down to 38 F. It's gone back up in temperatures again but we're ready if any more cold snaps happen. The fireplace has a thermostat so it goes on and off automatically. For many years we heated with fire wood; it's nice not to have to carry in wood not to mention all the chopping and splitting. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
This one is as nice as the rooster.
ReplyDeleteHi Dennis, thanks, I hope they stay true to their colors, we shall see.
ReplyDeleteThe irony is that I’m thinking about renting a splitter since I have some wood that could be used in my fireplace.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, thanks, those splitters make short work of the wood splitting, use knee and leg protection if you sit in front of the splitter, Gary had a piece of wood shoot back and chip a bone in his knee.
ReplyDeleteI think we're through with warm until next year. Lovely platter.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting chilly here too. We have used the gas heat but haven't lit a fire in the wood burning stoves yet. I am sure it won't be long.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great painting! Just in time for Thanksgiving too! As I said on your Facebook post, once you see a wild turkey in full display you understand why Ben Franklin wanted to make them the national bird!
ReplyDeleteLove the platter.javascript:void(0)
ReplyDeleteIt is getting quite chilly here too. I keep hoping it will warm up just a bit so that I will not have to turn the heat on yet. Blessings, Catherine
Hi Joanne, thanks, I think so too, although it's been warming up during the day here, but chilly at night.
ReplyDeleteHi Michele, thanks, yeah the weather has a way of changing on us doesn't it.
Hi Suzi, thanks, they must really be something with all their feathers flown high.
Hi Catherine, thanks, turkey platters are somewhat overdone but I can't help but like making them as I love painting with my pottery stains. We're having sunny days and breezes so it's quite clear during the day, that crisp air so nice in the fall.
