The wood flooring is down!

Hi All-

A couple of updates and pictures from the last couple of weeks.

First and foremost, the wood flooring is down in the great room! Yeehaa! It's taken about a month to complete it. That's not the only thing we've been working on in the last month, there's only so much of that you can stand at a time. Nailing the floor down wasn't all that bad, it was prepping the boards to go down that took the time and was less than exciting.

Still work to be done (sanding and staining) but at least we aren't living with concrete floors any longer

This past Thursday we received a special delivery- ten baby turkeys. We had so much fun with them last year, right up until varmints got them, that we had to try again. It is sad but true that baby turkeys just look for a way to die. We're already down to eight. They were a day old when they arrived and it's not uncommon to lose half of them before they reach eight weeks.

Best picture I could get, it's hard to get down to their level

More news on the animal front, putting his nose where he shouldn't, Duncan was bitten by a snake. All indications were it was a copperhead. So, if you want to know how veterinarian offices are operating during the Covid-19 pandemic it goes something like this. You park in the parking lot and call the office. They put you on the list with everyone else that is in the parking lot. At some point (about and hour and a half for us) they come out and get your pet and take them into the office. A bit later they bring your pet back and tell you what they did. A few minutes later someone comes out with the bill for you to pay. I should say this particular veterinarian office never takes appointments, it's alway walk up, first come first served. Unless you're bringing a horse or some other large animal. Anyway, Duncan is fine and has already been spotted chasing a snake so he didn't learn a thing.  No surprise there.

Last but not least, Susan harvested her first zucchini from the garden today. This is the first year we've actually gotten zucchini from the garden. Thanks to our friend Stan that told Susan about using Liquid Smoke to keep Squash Vine Borers off of the plants.

Our first zucchini

That's all for now. Take care.
