Hi, kids! It's a gorgeous day here at P. C. It's about 72 degrees and sunny and breezy. Just perfect for being outside. Bonnie is pacing behind me right now, wanting to go out and do some hunting so I think a nice, long walk is in order for her, me, and Peeps.
We've had a restful weekend. Yesterday, we drove to our friends' house and spent part of the day with them. They live north of us and it takes about an hour and a half to get to their place. We had a treat for our meal....grilled quail and homemade dressing w/gravy. I was a little worried about the quail - I'm not sure why except that I'm just funny about eating new things. I actually ate quail when I was a very little girl. PaPa and Uncle Gordon used to go quail hunting and when they got their quota, they would bring them back to my grandmother's house where they were plucked and cleaned and Grandmother would bake them. They really and truly do taste like tiny little chickens and the drumsticks are about the size of two matchsticks put together. The only bothersome thing about the whole meal yesterday was that I could see where my little quail's neck was and so I got rid of that part really fast and pretended that I never saw it. We saved all the little teeny bones and gave a few of the smallest ones to their newly adopted dog, Harley. He is about 6 months old and just showed up on their front porch last week and won't leave! He's part German Shephard and very, very cute and obedient. They didn't really want a dog but he's worming (no pun intended) his way into their hearts very quickly. As they told us more than once, "he is doing everything right". I think they'll keep him and I'm glad for that.
On the way home from church this morning, Peepaw looked over on the side of a hill and hollered, "Look at the turkeys"! There were 10 wild turkeys just munching away on the grass. They were so pretty - I hope someone tells them that Thanksgiving is right around the corner so they can find a hiding place.
I'll leave you with a picture that Peeps took of a sunrise the other morning. It's just too pretty for words. I love and miss you all so very much.
