Not Quite a Pet

We spent the better part of today outside trying to catch up on spring-turned-summer yard work.  Once the sun got too hot, however, we showered up and took a ride over to pick up our weekly farm share, where we found a new surprise.

Ms. Beverly got a delivery of baby turkeys this week, and Simone fell in love!


Only three days old.





It didn't take Simone long to ask the million dollar question... when these turkeys get big, will you eat them at your restaurant?  Simone then pronounced that she was no longer going to eat any food that was "a killed animal" --LOL!  Given her already strong preference for seafood and vegetables, it probably wouldn't be hard for her to do it too.  However, after a long discussion on the way home about the food chain, she reconsidered and decided that ruling out animals as well as all the other things she doesn't like wouldn't leave her with much to eat.  And this kid LOVES to eat!!!!

I'm sure we'll be watching these little chicks grow over the coming weeks.  Simone is already eager to see how big they get by next week!  we'll keep you posted!
