Puttering Around the Yard and the Wild Turkey

I’d uploaded a video of some trail exploring I did yesterday so the first thing this morning I checked it out to make sure it worked and it did.

Overcast day

This is what the sky looked like as I got it going today. It let go with a real light rain for a few minutes and that was it with the water.

Fortunately we don’t get much rain in the summer so we don’t have high humidity or many bugs either, just the way I like it.

The citrus trees needed some fertilizer to get them growing more so I got the stuff out to do it.

I mixed a bucket of fertilizer for each tree and poured it on at the base.

I did a lot of chair hopping today as I didn’t have much planned.

I did get this brush picked up I cut the other day.

I spent quite a bit of time cutting back the new wild blackberry vines that have been springing up, a never ending task.

My brother Tom said he saw a turkey hen go by in the creek this morning with three little ones.

A bit later I spotted this wild turkey hen in my yard. I looked but didn’t see any little ones with her.

I watched her to see what she would do.

She jumped over the fence and then over the chicken’s pens across the yard to this spot where I found her again.

She jumped over that fence and headed for the forest and that was the last I saw of her today.

Late in the day I let the chickens into this pen with a lot of woodchips in it.

They sure tear up the woodchips getting to whatever it is they like to eat in them.

Nice day.
