As many of you know our house faces south with huge floor to ceiling windows that look out onto the forest. It's like living in a park with a front row seat to an ever changing kaleidoscope of colour and events throughout the year.
Our latest source of entertainment is the new variety of birds at our feeders and of course the male turkey in the area who is busy pursuing any female he can find. The "Big Tom" was back yesterday giving us a fine show as he strutted and displayed right outside our windows. (click on picture for a larger view)
Now isn't he a handsome guy? My sister, after seeing his picture, said she just can't imagine eating such a beautiful creature.
I agree, although this is hunting season, I'm not sure I could actually see this guy on my plate later in the afternoon. I just enjoy him too much to see any harm come his way. I hope he gets to father a hundred little turkeys and we get the privilege of seeing some later this summer. I'll keep you posted.
With more rain in today's forecast we will be working inside. Our tree cutters are up in Algonquin Park on a canoe trip which means it will be the end of the month before we get more trees down. The black flies are out so it's just as well the boys aren't here trying to work in the bush.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the day. Always good to hear from you. Doug and Lori, we look forward to getting together after you get back from Nashville.
Safe travels everyone.
