One of my favorite features of our house is the woods behind our yard. And because of those woods, we get visited by all sorts of different creatures. Tons of squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs(We had one that lived under our shed for a long time. His name was Bob. For a while he had a companion, whom we named Wendy. Anyone with kids will probably get the connection to those names.) Last year, and last year only, we had deer.
Our newest visitor that Miles discovered on Sunday was a turkey. He was right up by the house, and we could tell he'd been on the back patio because there were turkey prints in the snow. I guess our neighbor put out some bird seed, which attracted our new friend to the neighborhood. We decided that he needed a name, so from now on he will be known as Sam. Sam Sandwich. Because we think he would be delicious! We haven't seen Sam today, but hope he will be a regular visitor to the area. Don't worry, even though Sam probably is delicious, no harm will come to him.
