It’s turkey season. Yes, there’s
the meal on Thursday, but I’m talking about the reappearance of our
neighborhood flock.

They show up about the first of
November and stick around for several months. And I love them. They remind me
that our neighborhood isn’t just all about the humans. And they make me very
thankful I live in an area that has wildlife.
Access to nature is important to
me, and so I’m thankful to have it in my everyday life. And as we close in on
Thanksgiving, I’m also thankful for my friends and family, and for my writing.
What’s important to you? What
makes you thankful? And how much extra time would you factor in if you knew you’d
get stuck in a turkey jam on the way to work?

I love the turkeys in our neighborhood, too. Although we see a lot more of them in the Spring and Summer, very few right now. I think they got wind of it being Thanksgiving-time.
Hmmm. They may be down by my house. We never see them in the spring or summer. They must head for your higher ground in those seasons!
