Memorial day is tomorrow, so I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to my dad, grandfathers, uncles, cousins, friends, and all the men and women who have or are currently serving in the U.S Military.
Lot's of stuff has been happening the last week or so. Last weekend I went away for a friend's bachlorette party weekend. Ton's of fun was had by all. We even took a duck boat tour, my first. For those of you who don't know what a duck boat tour is, I will tell you, the duck boat is a land/water vehicle that was used during WWII they have been re purposed into "tour" boats, our driver drove us through town giving us the history of the area as well as some local points of interest then we boated across the harbor to the next town and we got another drive through town.
At the farm, it has been raining pretty much all week long!!!! The grass is super long and the new tree's and gardens are waterlogged. On the other hand the grass is also super green! The chicken pen and coop are almost down (me and the hubbs are gonna make a big push to finish it up tomorrow since we both have off work) The turkey's are doing well, Martha the brown one has discovered that she can fly out of the pen to eat all the green green grass on the other side, George the white one is either to heavy or has not figured out how to get out. The other day they were snatching mosquito's right out of the air. Yesterday, when I got home from work Martha had made her escape and was sitting on the picnic table, just waiting for us to get home and let her buddy out.
In wildlife news, we have a sandpiper lady, who has made a nest in the field. The hubbs, me and Napoleon were out walking the other day and stumbled upon her she was quite vocal almost getting right up in Napoleon's face and then she flew off low to the ground and acted like she had a broken wing to try to lure Napoleon away from her babies, he just stood there cocking his head back and forth like "what the heck are ya yelling at me for" he did try to go for her once but we held him back. Since then we have given her a wide berth. Hopefully soon the little eggs will hatch and the babies will take off.
More soon from Ridge Top Farms, there hopefully will be a new addition to the farm next weekend.
