  • Self-Seasoned Turkey

                Aaron is out this morning devising some rigid wire covers for my newly planted garden.  In the last few years the local wild turkey have been quite prolific.  About five years ago the first small flock appeared.  We were enchanted and delighted.  Those few turkey have now increased to dozens!!  We have […]

  • First Evers
