The Almeida family has moved to Raising Maine. They still will be exploring Maine's outdoors, creating crafty projects and casting chickens in homemade videos. But you will see it all in their new blog.

They can fly?

Yup. It's not pretty but chickens can fly.

G. was working on her 4-H photography project yesterday and needed an "action" shot. She thought flying chickens would make the perfect subject, proving L. is not the only creative thinker in the family.

And speaking of chickens, I'm really looking forward to Fino putting in our air conditioner this weekend for cooling off as well as the white noise. The morning sounds of Chickenland - quaint as the country farm life may be - are waking me up way too early on my days off from work.

(And just for the record, that soundclip was made from inside my bedroom at 4:30 a.m. this morning.)

Can't wait to see all these chicks in a row hanging in the 4-H exhibit hall!

It has to be asked: Was the chicken really flying?

Because it looks like it's being catapulted!

The chicken flew out of my hands so no, it was not 'catapulted.' Of course I held it above my head to give G. enough time to snap the photo :-)

Every summer the rooster in my coop meets his demise. I'm sorry, but incessant crowing at 3:30AM brings out the axe murderer in me.
