It Is Christmas but Here is a Turkey!

 Last week I stopped by Piggly Wiggly to drop off some packages at the post office inside the store.  I usually park wherever I go in any Celestial Parking I can find, ie I drive through so I can drive straight out without worrying that I might run over someone or smash into a car behind me.  I found a Celestial parking spot right beside a tree that had a lot of brush around it.  There was some bird making sounds under the tree  but I was in a hurry so I did not stop to chat with said bird.

When I got back to the truck a few minutes later, this is what I saw:

It does not look like it here, really, but I believe it was a turkey.  That guy hung around chatting with me and circling the front of the truck back and forth, back and forth.  Eventually I felt the need to get home since I had been gone from home for ages so I got into the truck.  When I shut the door, the checkout helper from the store was right there beside me pointing to the bird and encouraging me not to run her down.  Well, I did not plan on doing that but was happy the young man was concerned about the turkey.  After a while, with the truck engine running, the bird went back into the brush and I could safely drive on out of the parking spot.

Kind of a novel experience.  I had never been that close to a wild turkey.  Makes me wonder if the turkey was well...
