• Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - Turkey Hen and More Explanation!

First off, the turkey hen has decided to set.  That means she is setting on her nest under the back steps.  I am a little nervous about the location, since it's the door everyone uses and the turkeys are very protective.  Oh well, it's just for 28 days, but I may need to put up a "beware of turkeys" sign!  I am going to put her other 7 eggs under her today as well as attempt to enhance her nest a bit.  There's not much nesting material under there and I am afraid, with it being on concrete, the eggs may break. 

Also, about the aluminum cans.  I think I've written here before that about my ultimate pet peeve, litter.  Montana passed a law last year where you may not drive with an open container of alcohol in your vehicle.  Does it stop people?  No!  It only increases the litter!  They just throw the cans out of the window!  We have noticed a huge increase in cans laying on the side of the roadways.  I HATE LITTER!  It just galls me!  I've been known to stop and look in a bag of trash and get a name so I can call the sheriff's office and report it.  I've done it more than once.  A neighbor of mine sends me latex gloves to keep in the car just for that purpose.

With all of that said, I would pick up the trash on the roadways too, but I have no place to dump it in the end.  It would fill my own trash can and then some and I am just not willing to have piles of trash around here until I can get it to the dump.  It kills me to leave the trash behind and only pick up the cans, believe me!  So for now I will do my small part, WHEN IT QUITS SNOWING!  UGH!

• Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - Hate Litter

Posted by Anonymous
Dear LaVonne,
It would be nice if they had a program in your state as they do in ours for the litter to be picked up by groups who "adopt a highway". The group picks up garbage on certain days and place the garbage in orange bags to be picked up by the DOH. It does get rid of the litter, if only for a while.
Good luck with the turkey eggs. Keep us posted.

• Tuesday, April 15, 2008 - Roadside Trash

Posted by LaVonne
We do have that program here in Montana, but only for selected roadways. I called about it and asked. The woman told me they would put "my road" on the list and they might decide to add it at a later date. I told her all I really wanted was the garbage bags and someone to haul the garbage off. I didn't need my name up on some sign so everyone knew who was picking it up! Well, you know how government is!
