    Turkey time

    This family visits me every day. If I sit quietly on the porch, they come pretty close. I counted a total of 13 chicks yesterday (are the babies called chicks?). Very cute, constantly going "peep peep peep". And they run very fast for such little birds.

    Daylight savings time

    Sure seems weird for the sun to be up until 7:00 PM, like winter came to an abrupt end. It's all good though. Yesterday I was on an international flight from Europe to Newark when the change happened. I had set my watch for Eastern time when we left - I always set my time to the destination...
