This young hen turkey decides she likes the large male turkey that struts for her and tentatively approaches him for a closer look. This little dance was happening in our driveway last spring.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving for many Americans involves around turkey. Even my vegetarian friends get the tofu variety. I must admit turkey is one of my favorite meals. One year I was on a vegan diet for ten months and the hardest day that year was Thanksgiving. The dogs love it too. There are always lots of tasty scraps left over. They watch with anticipation as the bird is taken out of the oven and carved. You might have noticed the hound sneaking a peek in the photo. Then the dressing, potatoes, and other various sides are served. Do not forget the cranberry sauce it goes so perfectly. Hey, pass the pumpkin pie! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am very grateful for each and every one of you!
