Please Pass The Turkey
Wild turkeys are native to most of Wisconsin and very abundant in our neighborhood. I put some of my turkey photos from the last few months into a Smilebox slideshow. It's my way of wishing all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving. As Erma Bombeck used to say, "Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not a coincidence."

I have never seen a wild turkey "in person", in fact, until a few weeks ago I had never seen any live turkey "in person". Not sure if your Thanksgiving was last weekned or this weekend, but, pass the cranberry sauce!
ReplyDeletethat comment above is me...sorry for the screwup!!
ReplyDeleteThat was so cute Donna. Nice pictures and a great format for them. We have wild turkeys near here (we're in Oregon) but not that many! And I haven't been able to get a picture this year.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Smile Box and now I have to go back to your slide show and click on the link so I can learn.
Thank you for posting this and a Very Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
Are those turkeys hiding on the roof so they don't become someone's dinner? :) How cool to see them like that.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to take longer to cleanup from Thanksgiving dinner than it does to eat it.
Wild turkeys are quite the unusual looking fowl.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for you and yours this Thanksgiving.
I love that smilebox! I haven't used that in a while. Does your computer bog down when you run it? Mine got really slow.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Donna!
I am thankful for blogging friends like you.
Oh my goodness!!! You have whole darn flocks of them passing through!!! How neat is that? I wish!!! Your Smilebox was really awesome...and so fun to see the birds just everywhere!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope your Thanksgiving is really wonderful, Donna! We are actually making a chicken this year...my husbands lucky year as he hates turkey!!!

I loved Erma Bombeck! Every year I say much the same thing, though not quite as witty:) Just as I finally sit down to eat the meal I have taken a day and a half to prepare, half of my family has already cleaned their plates.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the slideshow--hope these turkeys have been in hiding this past week:) Wishing you and your family a healthy and happy Thanksgiving, Donna!
Well, I'll be. Just walking around your neighborhood? They are cute as can be-they have some personality! Love the video.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Donna! They are magnificent birds. We used to see flocks of turkey when we lived in western PA (not very close up though). They're not here in our creek valley, unfortunately. Maybe it's too brushy for them.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving!
thinking of you with thanks giving today ...

How cute, Donna. Recectly prepared my first wild turkey ... awesome! Just arrived at the lake where wild turkeys rule ... we are on the 'turkey trot' and often see as many as 50 in the yard :)
ReplyDeleteNice show! We have lots of them in our area of Bluff Country too. As a matter of fact about a dozen paraded in a file up our blacktop road last week. Really!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I do miss Erma B. She had the kind of humor I just loved.
Hi there wonderful lady...never ever new they could get up to the roof....I was amazed seeing that..
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and hope you had a marvelous time.
Hugs D.
Very cool! First time I heard of smile box too. Boy is that a lot of turkey's! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of turkeys. Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! So sorry you missed my giveaway. I'll make sure I reach out to you next time.
ReplyDeleteHope your Thanksgiving was very special!
Your pal,
Linda
I see wild turkeys in the nearby fields fairly often, but not closeup like yours! Thanks for the sympathy wishes. As a matter of fact, we did have some happy memories and laughs this past week while we remembered my FIL.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful slideshow. I enjoyed all your beautiful photos. I have never seen wild turkey. My father in the Philippines raised turkeys but not anymore now.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all your wonderful comments. I really appreciate it. Hope you have a lovely weekend.
