So, basically they are receptacles for winding a hose inside of them. The trouble was the hose would get all tangled and never lay right.

Wonder if he was looking at his reflection in the windows? Have to ask, what do you use the cool metal containers for on either side of the turkey in the second to last photo (...leaving, service...) ? are they planters? with a history?

These turkeys usually run for cover if you even look out the window at them. Don't know why he was so curious today. But I don't go out when they're here anyway. They're very big and I can see how they could be dangerous if they adopted a bad attitude.Grey Horse Mattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05837575441967937196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367127003525577065.post-26607830133370034632015-05-05T19:43:08.562-04:002015-05-05T19:43:08.562-04:00Had a little flock here a couple years ago.

Not sure they do turkeys but released birds might be a little bit more used to humans. <br /><br />Either way, just be a bit cautious. If Tommy Gobbles gets too comfortable he could be dangerous. Somewhere on the Internet there was story of a whole neighborhood terrorized by one territorial Tom. Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.com
