*This flock of turkeys used to cross my lawn on a regular basis, to my joy. Diego’s noisy presence has them crossing at a point well above the house where, occasionally, I can catch them if I happen to look out my windows as they’re making their move…I find them and all of nature beautiful and amazing (with the exception of TICKS). In some Native American cultures turkeys represent abundance, the tradition of sharing all gifts, the gift eagle. Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird in the U.S. ~ a very different symbol, don’t you think?
