It's hard to sneak up on Gandolf, but he was enjoying a relaxing morning in his house after protecting everyone last night. This guy is so handsome- I just love him. Wish you could see the size of his paws in this picture!
First thing in the morning, I open the chicken houses and the goose house. They geese come charging out, turn the corner, flap their wings while the run for about twenty yards. Toulouse geese are really too heavy to fly although they sometimes make it off the ground about four feet in the air before they come down. I'll try to get a video of this sometime for you! In the meantime, here are a couple of my geese checking me out.
This morning there was a turkey fight! No idea why but in the end, nobody was hurt.
You can see this on YouTube at Turkey Fight! I love how Cherokee, my Narragansett Tom (that's what you call a male turkey) watches over the fight like a referee!
And lastly, we have a little groundhog living near our house. He's a happy guy these days because the Chinese Chestnut Tree has dropped it's chestnuts and he's always standing up in this area munching away. I'll try and get a better picture but it's difficult to sneak up on him and get close enough.
