The Last Few Days


On Friday afternoon at work I got a call from Bryne. I heard him tell me "She's ba........ck! " It took me a second then I explained "You must be kidding! " Well he wasn't. Some of you may remember the wild turkey(s) that were hanging around the last few years. Only the female has been left and she hasn't been much of a bother until lately. Eating transplanted spinach seedlings is a NO, NO ! We have a fresh faced batch of new WWOOFERs who decided that they would try and catch her. They did ! Didn't take them any time at all. Put Audrey (thats the name Craig gave her last year)into a cat carrier and off she went on a truck joy ride into the yonder parts. Bryne drove her at least 5 or more km. away. That was Thursday and now you have probably surmissed who was BACK ! Yes it took Audrey less than 24 hours to make her slow and wobbly way back to the farm. Whoever said that turkeys were stupid ! She is picking her way through the tall grasses and such and hanging out near the chickens. Maybe she thinks she is blending in. Well if she stays content to munch on the green, green grass of home then its okay with us. But beware if she gets a taste for the transplanted greens ! Maybe she likes truck rides.
Later.
