A few days ago we went to a memorial service, in the rain, of course, for a friend of Judy’s at a beautiful park in Somerset County. Natirar Park has over 400 acres, mostly mowed, of trails and lawns and trees with a branch of the Raritan River, which was near flood stage. We had never been there before and were very impressed. It was an oil sheik’s property either before or after it belonged to Richard Branson, but now is the county’s. The manor house is being converted to a spa and/or hotel, and there is a new hot restaurant on the site called ‘Ninety Acres’ where we will eat on Tuesday. On the way up to the restaurant to make a res, we saw turkeys and deer on the lawns, all busy eating.
There were several deer, but they bolted away as we slowed except for the young stag as rear guard.
The turkeys most always head away from you. They keep eating as they amble on.
