| Our little chicks are growing fast! A little Googling tells us they might be Buff Orpingtons. (But let’s be honest, we really have no idea.) The other day we found them both in the doghouse with the three Great Danes. Everyone was resting comfortably. |

This Old Barn
 |
| Repairs to our old Shed Row barn… |
 |
| are now seriously… |
 |
| underway. |
 |
| Mike’s done most of the work… |
 |
| by himself. |
 |
| Well, he did have a visit from a 51-inch water moccasin (whose head was swiftly hacked off!). |
 |
| The inside’s a mess… |
 |
| but getting better. |
 |
| The stalls are being repaired… |
 |
| inside… |
 |
| and out. |
 |
| The dozens of old wooden pallets are finally gone, |
 |
| as is that rickety hitching post. |
 |
| To be continued… New barn pics coming soon! |
Today’s Nature Lesson
Over the weekend we kept seeing this lone wild turkey out in one of the pastures. Now that’s unusual because these birds normally travel in small flocks. When Mike drove out there later to check some fence line he practically ran over the darn thing, which was hiding in the tall grass.
And now we know why:
She was protecting her clutch!
Which means nest!
Which means we have turkey eggs in the back pasture!
The same pasture that’s due to get cut next week.
Gotta go call Buster before he fires up that tractor.

Note: Ever heard of the National Wild Turkey Federation? Us neither, but we can all learn more @ their website. 🙂
