I can now say I experienced climbing a tree during a Category 1 Hurricane to pluck 5 turkeys out of them & bring them into a safer enclosure. No matter how well you prepare for a potential natural disaster, Mother Nature can be fickle. Our 75’ Sycamore trees & Cedars are tattered & torn but we we’re spared devastation by the grace of God. Tree manicuring, replacing fences & resecuring the Turkey Run areas will be our next project to look forward to.

Have you ever heard of turkeys laying eggs in water? No? Well, Geraldean started laying eggs but only if she has a fresh pan of water to stand in. No babies yet. She is only 5 months old & her eggs shells are rubber.

Now, I am focusing on garden bed prep for January, I want to plant by seed and transplanting turkey-friendly plants, like blackberries, chokeberries, clover, elderberries, Chickasaw and flatwoods plum, greens, mulberries, honeysuckles, white proso millet, oats, and sumac.  I have seeds for the groundcovers.

Staying prepared for hurricanes Helena and Milton made it a lot easier to digest and not stress. Afterwards, I am realizing how lucky we are by making it through them.
