In which I seduce the turkey..

There’s a real live (wild) turkey that lives near us.   It usually lives down the street a few houses down, but on this particular day, it was closer than ever before.  

Like a thunderbolt, Joanna dashes out of the car to get a picture of it.  In so doing, she chases it into our neighborhood.

Here he is trying to take flight.

So, I got out all of the bird seed and made a little trail that ended up at our doorstep.

Here is the prize–a nice turkey at the end of our driveway.

It probably enjoyed the entire bag of bird seed that it found at the end of the driveway.

You can hang out here any time.

So, when I saw my friend, Regina, today, I asked her,

“Have you noticed that your turkey is missing?”

Regina: “Yeah.  I was wondering where it went.”  (Regina lives a few houses down the road from us)

“I’ve seduced it down to our house.  I think he lives here now.”

Regina: “I was wondering who put the bird seed on the road?”

“Yeah.  I’m guilty.  I wanted a pet turkey.”
