An uncle of mine was a heavy drinker, and not a churchgoing man.

His siter, my Aunt, was always talking to him about thew Lord, trying to be a witness.

He would always tell her, "I take the Lord fishing with me every time I go."

What she didn't realize was that he was talking about Lord Calvert, his whiskey of choice.

A mama wild turkey was setting on a nest, and never even moved when I walked up.

I snapped a picture, and here it is:

Awesome!

Don't worry about it.

Jeans are fine.

I have never gotten this close to one before, quite.

I have snuck up pretty close to them, but never this close.

I think she just didn't want to leave her nest.

You never know when you are going to encounter some incredible scene.

LadyRev and I went to her woods tonight. We saw a deer and a turkey that was in flight. We saw several turkeys along the way and another deer across from her property.

I can't wait til November!

LR is going turkey hunting this weekend. My kids and I are staying at the cabin with her and play games by propane light. It's gonna be cool.

I didn't realize this part of the country had so much wooded area. I always thought it was flat and wheat fields, LOL.

What are you doing out there???

And I also didn't think Kansas had trees.....LOL!

I love the woods and love the smell particularly. Some of my best memories are being with my dad in the woods when he went hunting. Had a boyfriend who I used to go with occasionally as well.

When I was a kid I loved to go wandering by myself through fields and woods and would have all these adventures. Imagination is the most wonderful thing!

I don't like the woods. Too many little "creatures" are there thinking that that part of the woods belongs to them and not me and I am the enemy. Soooo, I let them have it to themselves!!!
