Just Some Pictures

Using an afternoon to tidy up and organize the house and the technology.  I am consolidating files and stream lining stuff so it is easier to get out.  I have found some pictures of my buddies and have emailed those off to them...  I got some back to school pictures taken.....  There is a few pictures from the summer that I was sent.  Anyway - just a few pictures.

We are all really well around here.  The chickens are all still alive and have laid steadfastly since their arrival.  They have done a number on the rhubarb, but are well mannered and pleasant.

They (the chickens) are Rhode Island Reds.  They are quite social and like to follow us around the back yard.  They also generally come up to great us after school.  They are no trouble to put to "bed" so to speak at the end of the day.  They willingly retreat to their coop as darkness nears.  As you pet them they crouch down and squat in what seems like the way a dog would roll over on its back wanting its belly rubbed.  They also submit quite nicely to be picked up if necessary.  The chickens seem clean and go to the bathroom in the exact same spot in the coop each night so it is an easy and predictable clean up.  The eggs are good to eat as well.

We grew really good sunflowers this year.  Our tomatoes were good and the basil was beautiful too.
