Good 38ยบ dark foggy morning.
Yesterday apparently a few hen turkeys showed up and
the boys were showin' off for them! Parading around (sorry, had to take out
kitchen window!) and the followed them down the road...
After this parade, about an hour or two later I saw a lot of
activity in the front yard and then in the backyard. Along with the normal
number of Toms and Jakes, which is about 15, there was a HUGE number of hens
with their grown chicks, had to be 40+.
This this hen got on the shed roof.....
I guess now that Thanksgiving is over they feel better about roaming
around!

William Patrick Hitler was the nephew of Adolf Hitler. In 1942, William
wrote directly to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, begging to be allowed to
serve in the US military. “I am one of many, but can render service to this
great cause,” he wrote. FDR passed the letter on to FBI Director J. Edgar
Hoover, who looked into William’s background and finally cleared him for
military service. Sworn into the US Navy, William Hitler went on to serve three
years as a pharmacist’s mate, receiving the Purple Heart for a wound he
suffered.
Dinner was my Schwans turkey breast. More on this tomorrow.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

French Toast Day
Today is your opportunity to enjoy French toast, a delicious and tasty
breakfast meal. Hold it right there! French toast can be enjoyed for any meal
time: breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Try French toast with male syrup, sugar, cinnamon, whipped cream, or
fruits. Better yet, use a combination of these.
Make plans to celebrate this special day, eating French toast for AT LEAST
one meal today.
Did You Know? French toast
has other names in its history. They include: American toast, German toast and
Spanish toast.
Recipes were common back in medieval Europe, where eggs and milk were often
used to soften and stale breads, then cook them. Often, other leftovers were
added. Its' real origin dates back to at least ancient Roman times, and probably
before.
