The Turkey Strut
Shhhh… we’re going on a turkey hunt.
It began with a good cuppa coffee, which is how most things begin in these here parts of the world. Or as I love to call it, Beautiful Bible Grove.
She awoke in the early hours of light. You may be familiar with the early light of spring. It is hard to resist.
Her daily grind consists of that very thing, using the only Manual Coffee Grinder Made in the USA. Some may call her crazy, some may call her a kook but those that know her KNOW she has learned (& is still learning TBH) to enjoy her daily grind.
As she soaked in the early morning rays she heard Mr. Turkey shout his song in the distance. Shortly after he sang his tune, a gun shot echoed across the hills of the Grove.
Oh dear, she thought as she wondered if his days were done. But just a little minute later Mr. Turkey made his voice known. That turkey is still in the land of the living. She imagined him laughing at the gun shot and him thinking it was a nice try, Mr. Hunter.
Soon, her Mister joined her for a few moments soaking in the warmth of the sunshine. His ears tuned in to the gobble and his heart quickened with the anticipation of a turkey hunt. She asked Mister if he could tell how close or far Mr. T was in regards to their current location. He mumbled…hard tellin’.
She suggested they go on a Turkey walk minus the dogs, of course. Their wolf pack did NOT approve of this idea but conceded in the hopes of having a delicious turkey supper.
They gathered their turkey gear with such things as a little camo here and a walking stick there. And the Mister obviously brought his favorite coffee, in his coffee mug. Oh. Mr. also put his turkey call in his shirt pocket and carried his gun safely. They were ready for their morning adventure.
He & She took off across the way and only made it a few steps when they heard a BARK behind them. Puzzled, they spun to see the wolf pack trotting & running toward them. So excited!
Whaaat?!? Did the critters change their minds AND figure out how to open the door? Apparently.
Britta burrus design.
