A new year, hopefully one with many enjoyable adventures ahead. I was awakened on New Year’s Day with a commotion by a gang of approximately 30 wild turkeys in my driveway. I can’t imagine that they were finding much to eat there. I read that they are omnivores usually foraging for nuts, seeds and berries, yet on occasion they consume salamanders, lizards and even small snakes! Doubt they were finding any of them… It has been said that Benjamin Franklin preferred the turkey rather than the bald eagle as the national bird.

Looks like these nippy temperatures will come to an end by mid-week, but I am not looking forward to the mixed precipitation in the forecast. Saturday evening the moon was obscured by the clouds, but it is shining brightly Sunday night.

For those looking for indoor activities, consider Fletcher Memorial Library. The book discussion this month will be Hey What’s Cooking? on Thursday, 1/8 at noon. Find a new recipe in one of the many cookbooks there, make the dish & bring enough to share. Please take a picture of the recipe for others.

The Grief Support Group, sponsored by Black River Good Neighbor Services meets the second Monday of the month in a private space at FML to share experiences, find comfort and learn coping strategies after a loss. For Information call: BRGNS at 802-228-3663
