Thanksgiving

Ornamental corn

It's Thanksgiving already - here in Canada, the second Monday in October.  The actual feasting may occur on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, but here in Ontario - not true in all provinces of Canada - Monday is a statutory holiday.

Wild turkey

Even though it's a long weekend, it feels short...but all weekends feel short, don't they? Many are traveling to visit with family, see fall foliage or even bird watch. I know for a fact that the wild turkey above would prefer to be bird watched than er...cooked and eaten.

Pumpkins still in the field

Most of the harvest is in, although I did notice a couple of days ago that many Halloween pumpkins are still in fields waiting...

Last Saturday, pick-your-own pumpkins

to be chosen.

  3. Happy Thanksgiving...
    Looks like a beautiful morning in Guildwood right now.
    It is special day for us too..
    I am grilling white fish from Lake Huron on cedar planks for dinner, considered 'Ocean Wise' according to our Vancouver Aquarium program.
    Earlier this year we watched wild turkeys feeding below our bird feeder. Our cat was stunned:)
    Wish you a wonderful day,

  11. Why not pick on something else? The bird is probably wishing turkey were NOT the food of choice during all the important occasions from Christmas to Thanksgiving. The pumpkins are certainly plentiful and advanced far further than in the west it seems. :)
