Went to the farm Monday, May 19th, left at 5:45 a.m., I went to the garage and opened the garage door of the condo, outside walking down the middle of the driveway 20' away was a wild turkey. He didn't get scared, he just kept walking, it was a young male called a jake as he had a short 2-3" beard.
Got to the farm and got busy spraying thistles and brush. Downloaded 484 pictures off the game camera. We are hoping that there will be some pictures of fawns as there were three does from last months pictures that sure were fat. Well I can tell you they are even fatter this time and no fawns. It did appear that the last week of pictures two of the does did not appear in any of the pictures so they may have had young ones just not moving much.
Checked on all the plants that have been planted, everything looked good except the one burr oak and the Canadian juniper, both of these had been dug up. I imagine that either a coyote or squirrel did this.
The grass has gotten so tall, it is up over my knees. The neighbor is going to mow and bale it for hay sometime later this week. Regardless it was beautiful looking across the field. A lot of wild yarrow and wild daisies were blooming
Fished in the pond by the barn, the pond had cleared up some, caught 12 crappie, 3 big bluegill and 2 bass. 
Last time I was at the farm I put up a blue bird house, as there were a lot of bluebirds in the area. I figured it was to late in the season for them to nest, not so blue birds have taken up residence in Gracies Blue Bird House.
