HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO EVERYONE! ?☘️
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

TriciaCT,
And now, a witty birthday poem.
May you eat too much cake
That you didn't bake.
The End.
Have a GREAT day! Happy Birthday!!
So, I live and work in Plymouth, MA (as in the Mayflower and the first Thanksgiving). I guess it's appropriate, then, that while I was driving home from work on Thursday, I screeched to a halt on a state highway because a group of wild turkeys (a "rafter") was taking it's sweet time to cross the road. Several cars backed up behind me, and six cars backed up going in the opposite direction. There were no chicks in the group, so it wasn't an exact Make Way for Ducklings scenario. But it was still charming. I smiled the rest of the drive home.
I've been thinking about how these next few months are going to be a time when human society is forced to slow down. Thinking back on the turkeys, they seemed to be saying with their body language "You humans are so crazy, rushing around all the time. Why don't you stop and take a look around for once." The turkeys were trying to teach me and my fellow motorists a lesson ? .
Here's a photo I took from my car.
@coyote, what a sweet story and picture! Thank you for sharing that with us.
I had something similar occur about a year ago. I was stopped at a very busy 4-way intersection, the light turned green for us to go, and out of nowhere, a mother goose with her goslings in tow, s-l-o-w-l-y meandered diagonally across the intersection. What struck me were the number of big trucks patiently waiting to proceed. Things became very quiet and it felt like time stood still. It felt like a holy and joyous moment. I loved it.
