I love my neighbors!

I’ve been trying for some weeks to get a photograph of my neighbors. No, I’m not some obnoxious person who pries into others’ private affairs. Rather, this lovely doe and her twins sleep just up the hill from our patio and graze on the grass in the morning. More than once, we’ve forgotten their presence and left in a hurry at night, only to hear what sounds like a police raid.

I really do love my neighbors!

New Arrivals

Over the six years we have lived on our property, we have gotten to
know the local fauna. We have wild turkeys in the area that trek
through our property once a day as part of their feeding circuit.
However, I have seen them for a few weeks.Today, the reason became apparent. This is a hen and her new babies.

Turkey hen and chicks

In the coming weeks, I hope to get an accurate headcount of all the chicks
and get to know this little family better. Welcome to the neighborhood!
