Turkey Time

In Canada this weekend we celebrate Thanksgiving.  It is a time for remembrance and thinking about what we truly are thankful for.  We gather together as a family and have a huge meal reflecting on the meal that the Native Americans and first English settlers shared together.  They celebrated their differences and shared knowledge of survival and had a huge feast together.  The main part of a Thanksgiving dinner is the turkey, almost all dinners include a delicious turkey.

On this Thanksgiving Monday I awoke sleepy with the wee ones sleepy as well.  It was a slow start to the day until I looked out our hallway window and saw turkeys in the backyard!!  I quickly told the kids and ran to get my camera.  I snuck outside and counted about 12 wild turkeys eating fallen apples from our crab apple tree.  They didn't even seem to mind me taking pictures until the kids came flying out the door to see too.  When the door slammed it was like a gunshot going off so needless to say the turkeys started to run but not before I got a couple pics!






Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

  1. We never have turkey up near the house. We only see them in the one field down the highway. Looks like you got pretty close. Yesterday during supper we were visited by a flock of snow geese. It's amazing how close Colin got in the truck.

  2. The odd time they will be this close, there are 4 apple trees in the backyard that are pretty hard to resist. It would be nice to see some snow geese, it's amazing how neutralized they are to vehicles.
