The Neighbors

I met one of my new neighbors yesterday.  I was out in the back yard admiring it's awesomeness when I heard footsteps behind me.  I turned around and there he was, just a few feet away.  He didn't bother introducing himself.  But that's probably because I took off screaming and running in the opposite direction as soon as we made eye contact.  Why?  Because my new neighbor, who seems to think it's acceptable to come and go from my yard as he pleases, is a WILD TURKEY.  A wild turkey?!?!  I was so not prepared for that.  Gang members, drug addicts and prostitutes I'm used to....but a bird that's almost as tall as I am?  Terrifying. This country living is way scarier than "urban life" ever was....
