Riding your bike is so enjoyable in this type of warm weather! Except for the fact that I need to do it more now, since I get winded far too easily from lack of practice! Levi and I raced today and of course, he won.

This is the left side of one of our male turkey's face… Puffer, to be exact. I noticed it yesterday while I was in the barnyard by the pond, and when I got close to his left side he didn't move (due to his eye being closed, he can't see out of it).

Apparently both our male turkeys are going into their "fighting" season again, and, as always, Puffer obviously lost the fight.  Stomper here (on the right) was the victor of this fight. Notice that really long extra sharp beak he's got? Well, I reckon he sure knows how to use it!

So, Puffer spent last night in the Rooster Pen with the guineas, because right now we can't put him back in the turkey pen with Stomper, especially with him only having one eye, Stomper might really take advantage of the situation! I guess he'll be spending a lot of nights in the Rooster Pen until his battle wounds heal.

This is Jack and Light-bill in the halfway enlarged pond in the barnyard. You can tell which one's Jack in the 2nd picture because he's so much bigger than Lighty. They absolutely love all the water they can play in now, and more than that they are thoroughly enjoying each other's company. Jack has actually been behaving (let's just hope he keeps behaving, right?) and doing really well, and even his leg is finally improving!

And of course I couldn't resist taking a picture.. or rather.. trying to take a picture, of my adorable little Sammy Allen. He's my little barnyard companion and escort. I thought I'd get my camera out today and see if there was anything interesting to take pictures of.. I only ended up taking 50 (which are basically a lot of pictures of the same things!) but I won't bore you to death by posting them all.
