While taking a leisurely walk the other day, I happened upon this charming fellow. He was somewhat agitated, so I inquired as to why. He continued to tell me that the most dreaded holiday for a Turkey is this week. After I stopped laughing, I let him know that he was misinformed and he would have another four months to work on a disguise. He thanked me for setting him straight and hurried off to tell the rest of his siblings the good news. He said they would probably have a feast and he would over-eat and probably put on a little weight. I just smiled and told him that I hoped so.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant fellow, a bit on the thin side but, as you wrote, he's working on it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad somebody talks to Turkeys. They always seem to need a little reassuring. Turkey Lurkey
ReplyDeleteGlad you helped him out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me to make travel arrangements for my son to be home for Thanksgiving, the most dreaded travel week. I'm sure I'll get just as agitated as this bird.
ReplyDeleteIt looks big, I think I would have jumped back if I saw him. Never seen a turkey in the wild before. My mama used to call me a jive turkey though....in the 70s....she's a dork like me.
ReplyDelete:) Hope to see hope in November.
ReplyDeleteNow he can enjoy the rest of his summer!
ReplyDeleteI can always count on you for a smile!
ReplyDeleteYou are one sneaky cuss, B Squared! I thought Wild Turkey came in a bottle!

ReplyDeleteThis guy looks pretty big! I took some shots of turkeys close to six months ago..they were fluffing their feathers in full form. Did I find myself in Turkey Tuesday?
