The Turkey Trot


Radnor Lake is one of our favorite places to walk.  Last week, AppleJack and me were taking a nice walk around the lake and we heard this loud commotion.


As we walked closer, the ruckus got louder.  Rounding the trail, we saw the source of all the noise--it was Thomas, the wild turkey!  He was strutting his feathers and making all kinds of turkey noises.


At first, we couldn't figure out why, Thomas was so filled with a sense of urgency and then we saw Miss Tina Turkey hiding in the under brush.  She was being very shy and coy.  Let's just say Miss Tina Turkey did not have the same thing on her mind that Thomas had on his mind or else she was playing hard to get.




Seeing Thomas and Tina Turkey at Radnor reminded me I needed to get started stitching on "Thomas" by Notforgotten Farm if I want to have him completed in time for Thanksgiving.  Seeing them also reminded me I am thankful the eagle was chosen as the national bird instead of the turkey.
