Turkey Chicks in the Corn

Back home, Mama Turkey has cleverly made her nest inside my Pa's well-fenced garden, tucked amongst last summer's corn stalks and the tall grass. My father can't decide whether he is more disappointed that he now must wait to till this patch of his garden, or that there'll be 15 new turkeys that know how to get into the garden :) I caught a peek when Mama was out for a quick Friday evening cocktail.

See them?

Sing It

A friend of mine posted this first video and it led me to an entire new world of audible bliss. The PS 22 chorus has a whole website devoted to their music at http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com/...I could just about collapse from the full body blast of joy and stupor that overtakes me every time these kids open their mouths. Though PS 22's talents are apparently no new or little-known phenomenon, I'm so grateful to have discovered them later than never at all. Here are some of my favorites...
