The chickens are getting bigger and Bountiful Baskets came around this morning

I'm in love with this picture because it shows how beautiful my dd is. Cute bird too, huh? You can see by dd's clothes the weather is still really warm although I hear it is finally going to get only into the 70s for the highs late next week. I'm using the air cooler every day. The chickens are very cute. My favorite thing they do is to huddle together and give themselves dust baths. They scratch around, push each other around, and get very cozy together. Funny chicks!

As usual for every other Saturday, I got up early and was over at the local park to help with the Bountiful Baskets distribution. I was home again by 6:15 so that will give you a clue. :-) Today for my $16.50 I received:
1 cantaloupe
2 bags of green grapes--about 4-5 lbs, I'd say
3 lbs carrots
6 bananas
3 Mexican Grey squash
2 bunches Spring onions
1 bunch broccoli
4 tomatoes
2 cucumbers
3 pomegranites
9 apples
7 oranges
1 head Romaine lettuce, not pictured

I'm not really sure what to do with all the Spring onions, although I do have a delicious egg/cheese/green onion recipe that I'll definitely be making. I'll probably do some kind of saute with the squash, onions, and tomatoes. The oranges are Valencias so they aren't great eating out of hand, but will make nice juice. The apples are Galas, one of my favorites, so good eating there. I'm getting into the Fall thing and apples sure are a part of that.

Last night my girls had their very-first-in-their-entire-lives visit to Chuck E. Cheese's. Do you think they were happy about it?
