Thanks to Rosy for hosting this. We are posting a day early because tomorrow is Phod's birthday!
Recently we have been showing you a group of wild turkeys that have made our yard their home. All the turkeys we showed were female.
Last week, the male showed up. Lady calls him Charles.
Even when he isn't showing off, he is a big guy!
We wonder how long it will be before we have baby turkeys?
These are some outtakes from Phod's upcoming birthday official portrait. As you can see, he was very cooperative!
Thank you to everyone who entered. This is going to be fun!
This is the list we have. If you think Lady messed up or missed you, please let us know.

Here are some pictures from Saturday.
Snow still looks pretty deep on while Phod and his boy are playing. 
It is deep and melting and hard to walk across 
Smart Lee sticks to the melted driveway 
Phod and Callie check out the snow on the septic field 
Front path is clear
Will it be warm enough the next 12 days to all melt so Phenny and Nelly win, will Susan squeeze out the win due to the huge gap in dates or will we have a tight race later in the month?

Here I am just minding my business, enjoying this wonderful exercise mat that clearly can only be on the floor for my use.
Remember there is still time to enter our contest, go to Monday's post!
Dear pals,
We are not liking the 'endemic' our people are talking about. We liked the pandemic when they hardly ever left.
On Saturday the most horrible thing happened. Lady took us for a nice long walk (the last day of winter was lovely, before the rain came). We had breakfast and then the people left for pickle ball. We don't like this, but it is our new Saturday routine and it is short so we accept it. They came home, gave us another breakfast, showered, got dressed and then left for 87 million hours.
They came home around 9, where we got dinner (which is very late as dinner is to be served at 6:30).

| I was so excited they returned, I jumped up here! |
In spite of this transgression, we were good and didn't destroy anything or have any accidents.
I think I am going to miss the pandemic more than most.
Your pal Lee, the abandoned.
Editor's note: In Quebec, with the exception of masking, all regulations have been lifted. In Ontario, all regulations have been lifted, including masking. Lady works out of the home 3 days per week (in Ontario, in an office that is not fully removing masking yet as we work with vulnerable people). The Man is still home, and hopes to be home now forever (or at least home part time). On Saturday, we went to the first, non-family member's home since February 2020. We have been in people's yards the past 2 years but we have not sat on anyone who was not family's couch. We are slowly getting back out into the world!
Reminder - go to Monday's post to learn about our contest!
