Turkey Table Manners


Oh my goodness, I should have known those tracks in the snow weren't deer tracks, but peeping gobblers. Their table manners may be somewhat uncooth, and they do leave a mess and tend to just walk away without so much as a thank you. Do you know very many people who fit the same discription?
A whole flock of them stopped by again this morning. After ravaged the picnic table, leaving nothing for the other birds, they flew off in a hurry when I let Sarah out.
It started snowing not so long ago. It's coming down rather thick and heavy so I guess I should restock the picnic table and bring in a large load of fire wood to last through tomorrow.

You and those turkeys are so lucky. The only time I ever see turkeys, they're the ones being eaten.

The Meleagris Gallopavo stoped by here on Christmas Eve last year. They were a little late this year.

De yam is in da oven, da birds are safe outside scratching in de snow.

Don't throw a hissyfit Pank. I was just kidding, besides, have you ever plucked a turkey before? It's a fowl job.
But ya need to catch one first.
My dad use to say the easiest way to catch a turkey was ...you run up behind it and sprinkly a little salt on it's tail.
Now if you think I'm going to run around outside in the knee-deep snow bare foot in my longjohns with a salt shaker in one hand and a gunny-sack in the other...good visual huh?

What do you mean, "What happened to my comment?" You send them, I post them...If you sent me a fowl comment(which I don't think you would) maybe it got delayed. :)
