After a long hiatus the Turkeys are back, or at least three.
One big Tom set up his parade ground in three places in front yard yesterday. he had only one young hen to perform for, that I could see.
he puffed himself up big spread that fan wide and gobbled loud enough to be heard in the next county.
She was having none of it. She stayed a good fifty feet from him in every direction. Working the grass for corn and bugs. Cars coming up the drive didn't faze them. Finally SILs dogs barked and that scared her around the drive and up the hill a bit with Tom in slow pursuit.
Seen him and maybe another tom or big hen, that is big for wild turkeys. yesterday evening and today.
Not too skittish at all.
Took Grand Kids around the little corn with strict instructions to be quiet, as the Turkeys were among some oaks about fifty feet up watching us waiting for some fresh vittles, no doubt.
Haven't sen the deer, in the light the last several days. They sure tor up the ground around the salt block on the stump. Look liked the came running in and locked front feet and skidded or something. They tore up patches of moss in deep shade, apparently rooting for
something. Lots of Ginsing around the edge, I noticed.
Got to get someone with some youth to take care of those coyotes and maybe the deer and turkeys will settle down and I can get some sleep too.
Sassy our cat of 18 years lost control off her hind quarters, something took out her spine.
She was contrary but some due to pain but nothing could be done for her, or she wouldn't let anyone.
She save my life a few years ago by jumping on my chest and licking my face. I had quit breathing.
There may not be a Heaven for Cats but I said several word of rememberence and asked for blessing and a few toys and a couple of kids to play with up there. She deserves it.
SIl took her to the Vet. I was ready to do it, just waiting on a word from Daughter. Her decision. Glad he did.
So no, if there is to be another one it will be Manx. Had a fine one til some one poisoned it.
Would get a Bob cat but not allowed in Tn. I can get a Bear though. Go figure. have to get a cross breed.
I can handle one. Anyone got one up for adoption?
