Let's Talk Turkey.....

   This big boy was at the Amish Acres, in northern Indiana. There's a lot of Amish in that part of our state. I can see where a couple tail feathers are missing. I wonder if turkeys  fight like roosters. That maybe he has had a fight with another turkey. Or possibly got to close to the goats. :):)
I think he looks wonderful in this picture. Nice profile Tom. Their face are kind of creepy, but with pretty colors. He is so round looking too.
  Got some running done and more to do today. Oh my gosh the stores were packed yesterday. Makes me think, "I am so glad , I am not going out there on Friday. "  If any of you do , please use caution. Even the parking lots can be risky, with cars pulling in and out of spots.  You'll have to turn your head like an owl.
 The wind here finally died down . Today is 20 degrees colder , so brrr. LOL.  Stay warm. Boston Boy, snow heading for you....get your hat and gloves.  Good wishes for all of you. XO

      Sylvia, I with you...no going to the stores for me on Friday. It was busy at the grocery this morning. We stopped in just for milk last night...it was worse. So glad I do not have to go tomorrow. Blessings for a great holiday, xoxo,Susie

      Hi Debbie, I thought that turkey was so beautiful...I was sad to see the damage on his tail. He did seem to strut proudly though. Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes. I am ever so thankful to God for having met you through blogging. You are a wonderful person. Blessings to you and your family this holiday. xoxo,Susie

    He is beautiful except for his face. The grocery was a mess today. I thought everyone would be there later. Then I forgot that it was Senior Citizen Day. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

      Debby, Turkeys have a face only a mother turkey could love. LOL. I do not know what was up with our stores on Monday...maybe people thought like me, they would go when there would be no crowds. LOL Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    Hi Susie, He is a handsome fellow, but I won't look too long because I am very visual about food and don't want to see him when I look at nice turkey on a Thanksgiving plate. It is so windy here and cold too. I went out early today and the lots weren't supper busy, but I'm hoping to avoid most of the crowds on Friday. I hope you and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
    Hugs, Noreen

      Noreen, I would not want to name him, then find him on the table. But as children growing up , that happened to our chickens. Glad you could get in and out of the stores. Yesterday, Tuesday, we did get in the grocery, loaded up and got out in good time. Bless you, xoxo,Susie

    He's a beauty! I've never seen one like him! Hope he makes it through the week! We bought groceries yesterday but for some reason the stores weren't bad here. We were surprised. I won't go back out to any store again this week..I hope! Happy Thanksgiving my friend! Hugs, Diane

      I think he is an bit of an attraction at the farm there. Amish Acres is a tourist place. They have a theater, shops, small farm wit turkeys, ducks, goats, and bee hives. I think it looks like it was a huge farm at one time. Blessings to you and yours this holiday. xoxo,Susie

    Outside the zoo, I don't think I've ever seen a turkey before and certainly not one like that! Stay warm.

      Nonnie, Once at my sisters, we were having coffee and a wild turkey was walking down the street. I just about died laughing. I have only seen one in our town other than the frozen food department.LOL. Bless you and yours this holiday, xoxo,Susie
