Well, we thought that we would take advantage of the beautiful land that God has surrounded us with and the barn. So, we have now added 3 ducks and 6 chickens to our family. The ducks are "Boaz" the brown boy duck, "Ruth" his wife, and "Tinkerbell" his concubine (named by Lucy girl herself). They are actually really sweet! They chirp for us and when we come to see them, they run to see us. Aparently, they can live up to 30 years and are good "companions". We got them just for fun because they are so stinkin cute. Maybe one day we'll have little families running all over the place.
We didn't name the chicks because they are all girls and we can't tell them apart. They are "laying hens", so they each will lay an egg a day. Cool, huh! Guess we'll be having a lot of eggs in our diet.
We also got 2 new (scary) rabbits that look evil to me. Hence why there is no picture of them.
