Today's postcard

For several years, Sarah has done landscaping at a home in Asheville. Right in Asheville, not out of town. One of the landscaping challenges in that neighborhood is dealing with the wild turkeys, who tend to tear things up. She sent some photos of the birds at the home where she works.

It could be worse, she once saw a bear, and that was in town too. In the country, she once pulled up to a new-construction job site and saw a cougar.

And, fabulous news here in Cincinnati, Mike got a hole-in-one on Thursday. Steph did a little research and found that the odds of an amateur golfer getting a hole-in-one on a par three course are roughly 12,500 to 1.

The only down side is that there was no one with him to witness it. He had been playing in a threesome on the front nine, but the other two golfers quit after nine holes, leaving him by himself on the back nine. But, how amazing, especially since he's only been golfing for a few years.
