Carol's Peacock, and a surprise visitor, for real!

Can you guess what Carol's favorite bird is? Yep, the Peacock! She has peacock pillows, figurines, paintings, puzzles and outdoor decoration. This one is in the backyard.

Now, I want to tell you an amazing story. We are moving to a house on our oldest daughter's property near Veneta. She and our son in law bought the four acre place with a second house a year ago, with us in mind. They came to us, suggesting it was time to move there. We are in the process now and will be moved by the end of the month. They have had wildlife make an appearance on their property, including deer, elk and wild turkeys. But since we have started moving our belongings to the new house, what do you think all of a sudden has also moved in in the last couple weeks? You got it, a Peacock! Totally amazing and a source of pure joy to Carol. :) We have no idea where it came from, but it has become attached to my daughter's chickens and follows them when they are out. When my daughter puts them in their pen for the night, the peacock flies up to the tree overhead and roosts there. We think we are going to like it out there. LOL

Sounds like a good move. Look forward to photos from there. Don't strangle the peacock, you'll get used to it and maybe it will continue to be a favorite by some.

GREAT Peacock story Vern. Sounds like you and Carol are settling in nicely and that you will have lots of photo-ops at your new place. We'll expect some shots of the real Peacock soon. All the best to you both and wishing you many years in good health, hopefully shared with Carol's new Peacock friend.

A wonderful story, and it sounds like it's going to have a very happy ending, and you'll still be in a country setting. Hope the move goes smoothly.

It sat on our porch railing the other day when we were there. :) Yes, Carol is pretty excited to have the peacock there. It doesn't appear to want to leave. Our son in law feeds the wild turkeys. :) So the peacock has plenty to eat.

Sweet! And how exciting that Carol will now have the real thing nearby to enjoy sometimes!
