Some time outside...

These are just some fun pictures from an evening outside. You must click on these two pictures of Emily to see a larger version of her goofy expressions. She is just so silly sometimes. Yes, she has no shorts on...she refused to put them on:)

Here is a picture of our monster squash plants and cucumber and pepper plants. We have gotten so much zucchini and they are growing like weeds. I picked about 7 huge ones 3 days ago, and Darrell went out today and picked another 8 gigantic ones. I know they are supposed to be picked when they are small, but we can't catch them small, they seem to burst to gigantic over night. The picture on the Left is Darrell trying to train our older chickens to leave the two younger ones alone...(yes, in case you have followed our chicken saga, Darrell bought 2 more chickens, not quite as old as the ones we have but not chicks either). The older ones just peck our younger ones incessantly. Yesterday Derek comes in panicked because one of the younger chicks had blood coming from its head where it had been pecked so much. We hope the older ones will calm down soon. Darrell sat out there with a spray bottle, spraying the older ones every time they got near the younger ones.

Lastly my sweet little boy helping Sarah rid the trike and giving a kiss at the same time. I love these days when the nights are still cool enough to enjoy being outside together.
