The young, dashing tom turkey and his lovely hen meandered out of the woods to find goodies left for them at the feeding stations. A larger flock hangs out a few housed down the street but we are happy with our small family.
Tom knows he's a handsome devil. |
Tom is one of three bachelor birds we've watched grow and mature over the years. He's young and this is probably his first family.
Perfect Penny |
Penny visits the feeders several times a day; often is on her way in as I step away from filling the stations. She has a sister, Henny, who is part of the family but is rather camera shy and a bit skittish.
Watching drama of nature unfolding can be relaxing and sometimes better than TV. When he's home, hubby & I use the peace of the morning to sit on the deck. It's romantic and recharging as we share gentle touches and conversation.
Take a morning to sip a cup of coffee or tea, with your honey or alone, on a porch, deck or patio. Reconnect with yourself, your honey and nature. It's good for the heart and soul.
