Our Chickens and Pineapple:)

Believe it or not that is Jacob sitting with Leah on the "ugly" side of our house. We planted a couple of pineapple tops there. They actually grew pineapples. I was so amazed. The first was yellow and this little one is red. They take at least 2 to 3 years to grow big enough to make fruit, for me anyway. Jacob just started a new job this week as a diesel mechanic. This picture was taken when he stopped by just after work to tell us about his day.

Leah holding Whitey our one and only female chicken, we think. The baby chickens are still to small to tell if they are male or female, but we have a feeling, by the way they act, that they are all male. Boy are our neighbors going to love us at sunrise!

Our little baby chickens. And yes they all have names. It will be extra hard to have chicken soup with a name.

This is Rudy our rooster. Oh my! is he funny to watch. He is scared of his own shadow most times and runs so funny. He loves to play the bully with the baby chickens and chase them all over the place. I think it makes him feel all grown up or something.

Since Scott hurt his shoulder and can't work for a while and my job changed my hours to nights we are both home during the day. My body hasn't adjusted to sleeping during the day (I don't think we are meant to sleep during the day:) ) so Scott and I are convalescing and have time to "watch chickens" and visit with each other. Practice for when our kids are grown, I guess. I think I'm going to like that season of my life.
