Romance in the Air - Breakfast with the Turkeys

Hubby and I enjoyed breakfast on the deck this morning. He was in Seattle and I was home in Michigan. Thank God for video chats! While we enjoyed our romantic moments, Tom and Penny joined us.

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.

10. Dublin Eggnog.  (Eggnog + double-strength coffee + 6oz of Irish whiskey= wide awake fun)

13. Toffee Shortbread.  Ah... buttery shortbread, a layer of toffee with chocolate topping.  Sigh.  A favorite sweet among families in Ireland.  Get the recipe

If you've been paying attention, you'll notice McDonald's shamrock shake is not on my list.  I'm trying to watch my calorie intake. Wait a gosh darn minute... I've already had two.  Oops. My bad... so spank me.

I'll leave you with this thought... what better way to burn calories than to get all hot over a sexy Irishman!  Here ya go! 


Check out this FREE St.Patty's Day story

Mimi Cates is an artist who lives over the coffee shop she owns. Content with her life, she won't allow herself to become to close with her sexy, wanderlust neighbor, despite what her heart tells her.

Irishman, Robbie Mac Donnell never wanted to stay in one place very long. His job as a scientist allowed him to travel the world without ever making permanent ties to anyone. However, when he finds the perfect person and the perfect place to settle down, he's not sure if she'll believe him.
