I Was Going to Blog About This Today, But Things Changed Very Quickly

I was undecided about what I was going to blog about today, then I thought of the autumn flowers I have growing in my backyard. I also wanted to bring beads back into my blog, and I knew I had beads that would fit right in with the flowers (weeds) growing in my back yard.













Here are some Brown Eyed Susans growing in my back yard



















Here's the dreaded Ragweed plant. I actually love to see it. It's so pretty.

Here are the beads I was going to tie in with the free growing plants (weeds).



















That being said, I was on my way down to the backyard to take some pictures of these plants. When I got to the basement, I happened to look though the windows in the basement. I am so glad I looked rather than just racing out the door to take these photos. I honestly thought I would just see the free growing plants (weeds) in my back yard. Instead, look what I saw. I was truly amazed! Remember, I took these from a window. I didn't want to frighten my guests!















I don't know what a family of wild turkeys is called, but I had a family come to visit. They came for a snack.


















I think this was the mama and the papa of the family.

















Here's a family photo. They were hard to get to pose!



















One of the young 'uns is hiding in the Brown Eyed Susans watched over by Dad, I think.



















Here they are, right before they all flew over the fence and into the ravine. I tried to call them back. I'm sure the neighbors thought I was crazy as I stayed outside gobbling. They never came back, but I was so surprised by my unexpected company!
