Turkeys!

The day finally arrived to pick up the turkeys.  The turkey coop isn't ready yet.  No surprise there.  It started pouring the night before we were supposed to pick them up.  I got an email from their owner they had snow during the night so we need 4 wheel drive to make it to her house now or maybe we should wait for better weather.  OK. 

Darling Husband has no work that day because of the rain he thinks he will finish the turkey coop before we leave so I should not put off picking up the birds.  This means we are putting the turkeys in the suburban instead of the back of Darling Husband’s truck.  We take the back seat out of the suburban and go to put the animal crate in the suburban and it will not fit.  We once again empty out the cat’s night time enclosure because that will fit in the suburban. 

We pick up youngest son from school and head out on our adventure.  As soon as we get up in the mountains we realize the heater we just had fixed isn't working.  Fortunately the suburban has a heater in the back so that keeps us from freezing.  We used Darling Husbands sweater to wipe the windshield every few minutes. 

It’s snowing, very cold, windy, and muddy at the house we pick up the turkeys.  We get 2 hens and a tom.  They are beautiful. 

The problem with Darling Husband building a coop on a rainy wet day is it is rainy and muddy where we are building the coop.  He has other things he can do without getting muddy and wet.  So we get home and NO the coop isn't finished.  It is raining and wet so we put the turkeys in a safe temporary place and go into the house.
