Turkey Photos

Our little trail camera has been very busy this spring.  I pulled the memory card this past weekend to discover that over 1600 photos had been taken since the last time I checked.  Most of those were either turkey or raccoon photos.  There are others (coyote, pheasants, deer, rabbits and other furry creatures) that were fairly interesting as well.  I'll post some of the better ones at a later date.

These were some of the best and/or most interesting of the turkey photos.  They were "kissing close" at times.  Seeing these has our son, Nathan, seriously considering turkey hunting in the future.  I have to admit, these pics and the sheer number of them have me thinking about it as well.

Morels, Fiddle Heads, and Ribeye Steak... Just another day on the farm

Saturday I came upon the biggest patch of morels I've ever found and did so earlier than I've ever found them, all on the same day.  Not a bad day, I'd have to say.

This unusually warm spring has produced many a strange thing.  Some of them are bad, such as earlier than normal lawn mowing.  Some of them are great like the early spring-time arrival of the feverishly sought-after morel mushroom.  While I have a nagging feeling that we're going to pay for this unseasonable weather in the long run, it's lovely to enjoy it all at this moment.

This meal was not only tasty, it all came from our farm.  What an amazing and wonderful thing it is to be able to produce a meal with these types of delicacies from your own little piece of ground.  I think I'll stay here.

   

Two and a half pounds of morels.  Yeah, it was a pretty good day.
