Turkeys in the Snow...

The SJS Turkeys have returned and were sighted this afternoon foraging amidst a fresh dusting of snow for whatever turkeys forage for on the Seminary grounds. It reminds me of a Haiku by the blogger Lisa Jordan:

Turkey in the snow

safe from autumn's glancing blow

feast, forage, and grow.
