what's that? you want to see more chickens?

Well okay.

If you insist.

the yard in the afternoon

Maine has really been hitting it out of the park lately with the insanely nice weather. I meant to take a stroll around the block this afternoon, but got distracted by the things in the yard.

so many eggs in our future

Instead of the two or three, we came home with a bunch. They're quite unique. The one we named Kramer has feathers that grow upside down? Inside out? I don't know. We also named all of these; I wasn't lying about being crazy. (Penelope, Daisy, Khaleesi, Sam(antha) I Am, Franklin, Ariel, Kramer.) The older gals seem wary but mostly leave them alone, the four of them hang out in whatever corner is opposite the new chicks.

chickens, five weeks

The chickens are a little over 5 weeks old now. I think they literally doubled in size while we were gone for the wedding festivities. Look at them a week or so ago.

They're pretty amusing little birds; Cinder found a leaf while they were outside today and all the others chased her around thinking it was the coolest thing. Also, yup, they have names. Lulu, Cinder, M.C. (Mother Clucker), and Ghost Rider. A few more are arriving this weekend, bringing our chicken flock to 7 or 8. We're turning into crazy chicken people...

sky

Travel luck was not on our side this trip; our return flight was delayed causing a missed connection, causing a rebooking from IAD to LGA to PWM and lots of hustling around the airports. Long day, but hey, we made it and also the sky was super pretty... and thus concludes my San Antonio wedding week blog-a-thon.
