My youngest brother's best friend lives just around the corner and this morning he came over to play. To our surprise he brought a little friend with him- a baby chicken, probably less than a month old. We're not sure whether it's a girl or a boy, but the kids have taken to calling it "her" and named her "Chicky".
Chicky is becoming quite spoiled. :-)
She has quite the set of pipes and she uses them quite avidly when she wants to be picked up. The general consensus is that it's her first day with them and so they have to spoil her today. It's interesting how smart she is and how much she likes the boys. When she first came over to visit she was, as you would expect any lost chick to be, quite shy and timid. She has very much gotten comfortable with these rowdy and yet somehow gentle little boys.
"She loves being in my hands, I'm her mommy now!" Boys are so funny. :-)
I have to work tonight and I think I'm going to take my sketch pad, just in case there are some quiet moments and I have an inspiration to draw two boys and a baby chicken. :-) Or perhaps I'll just draw on the bus on the way to work this afternoon. It's a forty-five minute ride, so I should get in lots of sketches.
I wish I knew how to use watercolors... hm, maybe I'll try that sometime.
Well, I have some Hebrew letters to study...
Shalom,
Samia
