It’s been a long day and I have a lot to catch up on before I can blog about my day . . . but I’ll say when I got home today this was the first thing that I saw in my Inbox. Our aforementioned turkey. Patti over at the farm emailed me a picture of our bird. Kinda makes you sad when the “detached” factor is gone.
When despair for the world grows in me, and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be ... I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. - Wendell Berry

Or makes you more appreciative of the life and nutrition the turkey is giving you, eh? I guess it’s a two-sided coin…

well, yes it is a bit sad, however, you can be glad that you are not the one to have to butcher it!
enjoy!

Don’t you dare eat that cute bird!! If I had shown you that picture (when you were little) I am positive that turkey would have been on your list of “NO” foods.
