Gaggle? Flock? Herd?


This morning I was running very late for work. We had VIP visitors, so it was not a good day to be late. As I pulled out of the driveway and drove up the street, I saw something that delighted me!!! Not a deer (that always delights me!), but something totally unexpected.

A gaggle, a flock - let's just call it a big mess of of wild turkey!!! I didn't realize we had wild turkey here, and seeing them was quite a thrill.

I can get used to this country living!!!


On the crochet front, I'm working on a blanket for co-worker who is expecting her baby girl very soon. She has two older boys and is just thrilled to be having a girl. Like it or not, this child will be dressed in pink ruffles and bows for as long as she needs her mom's help getting dressed.

The jury is still out on this blanket. I'm using Bernat Lulu. It's amazingly soft and cuddly, but almost impossible to work with (which is probably why they discontinued it). I'm mixing it with a baby weight yarn to make finding the stitches more easy - I need to get some more done before I'll be able to decide if I like it or not.

More...

Re Gaggle? Flock? Herd?

Flock

FWIW, I had a teacher who was involved in the reintroduction of the Wild Turkey in the 1950s. As of when I had her as a teacher, some 40+ years later, she had STILL yet to see a turkey in the wild since the day she released them.

I don't see them too frequently, but I see them often enough. They're pretty cool!

Nope - oddly enough, "rafter":

Really! I had googled and thought it was a flock!
A rafter - that's a new word for me!
