I love bridges. If I see a cool looking bridge, I want to cross it, especially if it goes somewhere that I’m not familiar with. Same with stairs outdoors. They feel like an adventure to me.

    My neighbors have a turkey. Every time I walk through the kitchen I look out the window to see if she’s in our yard. If so, I run out to pet her.

    Also, if I’m working outside she trots over to see what’s going on and, of course, I have to stop to pet her for 15 minutes.

    She just walks up to me and sits down expecting pets.

        I don’t know why it’s so fun, but my day gets better every time I get to pet a turkey.

        Let’s see if this uploads… It’s a picture of her after 10 minutes of pets

      Do you play an instrument? Or just own a flute or harmonica? The turkeys at my wife’s uncle’s place LOVE music, they even sing along. Gobbelgobbelgobbel. Hilarious! There’s a German word,“Truthanschottigkeit” - it means the sudden urge to play the bagpipes for a turkey. …nah, there isn’t, but would be nice if there were, right?!

        O wow, that’s awesome and I’ll have to try this. We’ve got a mandolin but both of us suck at playing it :D
