A Fowl Order

My oldest sibling came to visit for Christmas. We had the opportunity to spend some time at our small family cottage near a lake and forests.

Knowing my sibling is an avid bird watcher, I had hopes that one or two of the wild turkeys we had seen in recent weeks would make an appearance. Sure enough, I spotted two of them passing through the back yard. When I got up to get a better view, I discovered that the two turkeys brought some friends - about 60 of them! Ugly as wild turkeys are, they are still God's creatures. Speaking of God, this experience made me grateful to God that "Animal Farm" is fiction.
