LUCKY GUY
 
I made the trip home this afternoon to get some things done at the farm. While I have been studying diligently at school ;) my grandpa has been hard at work on the "cabin" at the new farm. This is simply put my favorite place in the world. I am one lucky guy to have a place such as this. On our trip Dad and I checked the food plots that were planted a week ago and see how the overall project was progressing. My mom tagged along and went on a 10 mile bike ride. I lack intelligence and forgot my camera back at school. To saw that I was upset would be an understatement. I NEVER (ok, hardly ever) leave my camera behind. For some odd reason we didn't have any camera at home, so I was going to rely on my mom's Iphone camera - a whooping 2 megapixels! So, ahead of time, I apologize for the shaky pictures! HOWEVER, I want everyone to know that i DID obey the "man law" of taking pictures.


Here is our recently installed cistern. 1500 gallon cement tank in the ground here...


Here is a picture of the main room. Some cabinets are hung, but we have yet to decide on a floor...


The paneling with cedar trim....


One of the three 10x10 bedrooms...


The wall we decided on for the mural...


A view of the west side...


Some growth! However, I am not sure what it is. Anyone have a guess?


Thankfully, deer tracks were very abundant!


It didn't take long for the resident turkeys to find a place to dust! This beautiful wing feather was laying out in the middle of one of the fields. Shortly before this, we heard a fall gobble! Yehaw!


Early this spring I searched high and low for a shed antler. No dice. Father happened apon this small one tonight I assume the disk picked it up. I then took this picture.



The trip was an absolute blast. Deer and turkey sign everywhere. Beautiful weather. Today was the first day that I noticed "fall" in the air. The leaves were a bit wilted, corn beginning to brown, soybeans tinting to the infamous yellow. Needed a sweatshirt at dusk.. Boys, it's getting close and I can HARDLY stand it!



All in all, we saw:

13-Deer
2-coveys of quail
1-Blue Heron
1-Hummingbird in the garage!

I am one blessed cat.

Copy and paste the code rather than the link.

Make the IMG's lowercase rather than upper and they'll show.

Cool Willie, the place is really coming along. I see lots of progress since I visited you a couple of weeks ago.

I believe the little sprout is a turnip or brassica.

Sounds like a wonderful trip.

Give me a hollar whenever you want paybacks on that free lunch.;)

And when you gonna upload your avatar? Teammate
