We have a grumpy old man who raised heck about our turkeys supposedly pooping in his driveway and garage( both gravel BTW*sigh*) We tried to assure him it couldn't be ours because they are penned up. One day he came over in a semi drunken rage( early morning mind you) and caught our Dd( 14yrs. at the time) outside doing chores and went off on her like a rabid dog. My Dh went to the door to see who drove up and he then turned and went off on my Dh, threatening if our turkeys ever came down there again they wouldn't be coming home! Again all of our birds were accounted for. I called his home, his wife answered and said he wasn't home( which was a lie I could see his truck in their garage and like 2 minutes had passed since he left our house) I kindly, but firmly told her if he ever came down and chewed out our Dd again he would be answering to the law( our Dd was in tears) I suggested that did they even think it may be wild turkeys doing the pooping? Let him go ahead and shoot a wild bird and them say something to me I won't hesitate to turn him in for shooting a wild bird out of season. The story spread( via him I guess, we didn't tell anyone) and one day an lady further down the road called me telling us our turkeys were out and she didn't want us to get in trouble with Mr.??????? I told her I could see our birds and asked if there was a white on with them( I couldn't see our white tom), she said no they are all dark, I told her thank you but I was sure they were wild turkeys, we have two flocks in our area. <br /><br />Funny how people are so angry, rude and plain ole' mean and yet we are supposed to be forgiving and kind to them when we are distraught. <br /><br />Praying it all works out with minimal troubles.<br />Blessings,<br />KelleKelle at The Never Done Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089557752054842197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652834985543565257.post-73287748416696738482010-07-18T21:21:37.392-05:002010-07-18T21:21:37.392-05:00Hey everyone, thanks for the wonderful comments. B...Hey everyone, thanks for the wonderful comments. Believe me it was all I could do to control my temper. It was only the Lord's strength and grace that allowed me to do so. We started cutting fence posts for that corner, so we should have the issue resolved pretty soon. I think we are actually going to build a wall on that corner only so that none of their trash "accidentally" makes its way into our pasture anymore. As far as the snooping around, we are going to try to get solar motion lights for the big barn and the chicken coop which are the farthest away from the house. We have floodlights, but only on the house. We have put a lock on the studio and I am a little more cautious at night. We have large dogs so they are a good comfort. It might simply be vagrants sleeping in my pine thicket ( I have found some stuff in there that would lead one to believe that). They might be cutting through to my other neighbors who own a hunting and fishing club and have three very large stocked lakes. Still in this day and age and with the old neighbor woman issues and the history of her son....caution is a good thing. Again thanks everyone for the comments. They are so much fun to read.

You're doing the right thing taking her to court, it sounds like she needs to have her eyes opened a bit. I also don't understand people like that...its pretty baffling.

I used to have a neighbor who threw her dog poop over the fence into my yard, and I had to resort to confrontation in order to "resolve" the problem. <br /><br />Enjoy your blog, glad to see you posting again.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02174141298280679024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652834985543565257.post-22471967067406393822010-07-15T01:43:10.189-05:002010-07-15T01:43:10.189-05:00I really do not understand mean people "like ...I really do not understand mean people "like that" at all, and I really don't understand nice people "like you" at all, either ... meaning, I wouldn't want to talk about it (I'd want to open a can of whup-butt.)<br /><br />All jokes aside, and this really isn't a joking matter, you really are a nice woman ...
