Last day of turkey hunting

Dave, Dave’s son Doug and Woody headed out early with high hopes, this being the last day for Woody to hunt. No turkey was willing to expose himself or even reveal his position by gobbling, alas a turkey for Woody was not in the plan this trip.

After lunch Woody had a snooze, I continued updating the blog until Woody woke up we then went outside to enjoy the beautiful summer weather.
Spent the remainder of the afternoon soaking in the sun watching the boys play (with their bows),with birds flitting about, and occasionally the pleasing fragrance of the honeysuckle in bloom wafting about in the light breeze, waking my senses a relaxing, pleasant afternoon indeed.
Oh, yes I know what your thinking reading this, what a tough life we lead eh, just how can they handle the stress of such a hectic day! Well I did take a couple pictures and researched a little information on the web now that was tough work (Laughing aloud).


The honeysuckle family includes 180 species of
shrubs and climbing vines that grow in varied habitats ranging from woodlands to rocky places. All are known for their attractive, often fragrant, 1/2- to 1-inch pink, white or red funnel or bell-shaped flowers and for their 1/3-inch red or yellow berries that birds relish. The berries are not suitable for human consumption and may cause mild stomach distress. The 1- to 3-inch leaves are borne in opposite pairs. They appear early in spring and drop off late in autumn.

Randi arrived home from work and dinner was prepared, all contributing expertise and menu items we enjoyed surf and turf prepared by Chef Dave on the grill, Woody prepared his special carrots while I prepared the taters for the BBQ, a mouth-watering meal to be sure.
