The last days of summer

Here's what passes for Saturday morning cartoons at our house--chicken watching. Given the amount of television the girls get on the other side of the calendar, I don't feel too bad about not having one here. This is how they spent their last morning of freedom. After a summer of swimming and horseback riding and reading and playing in the river and chasing chickens and gymnastics and playing on the trampoline and camping and all the other things they did this summer, I think they are ready to get back to school. And if you are wondering if a watched hen will lay, the answer is no. I think the chickens will be relieved to have the girls back in school too!
