We had these daffodils on the kitchen island a week ago and they gave me the feeling that the weather was about to break ... And it did. We still have snow on the ground but this weekend was 100% sunny and warm. I think I saw 50 degrees on my car thermometer for a minute .. Anyway, it was beautiful and I was lucky to catch some turkeys prowling through the woods a few minutes before I found my first pussywillows ...

Mr. Turkey above, and his ladies below ... He had a nice beard but he's turned just enough that you can't see it in this picture ...
I think there were 3 or 4 more ladies I cropped out ..
Pussywillows on the porch and 'Cactus Man Goes to the Pyramids' by Jim Parsons, the guy Jim you see working in the shop photos ...
Sunset yesterday ... two months to leaves ...
Update 1/30/11 ... The turkeys come back from time to time ... I was watching them Sunday morning through my camera lens when i accidentally bumped the door glass ... They're off !! It's amazing house fast they can get airborne ..... there's a short, strutting male you tube video here.
Well, we just had some turkeys at the feeder ... Maybe 20 or so ... And we thought we were going through the birdseed last week ... Click the pictures to enlarge them ..
This is the 'Danger Will Robinson' photo ... I think they saw me move to a different window inside the house. They didn't spook though and eventually they ambled off with probably a couple pounds of seed ...
