Chickens are grown up!

The chickens are starting to crow. It's not a good thing. I think both are roosters. We have to find them a new home...

We have these curly tailed lizards all over the place. Too bad they're too big for the chickens, they're invasive exotics.

Knight Anole

Found this Knight Anole at the data center. It's so cool and pretty big, too bad they're invasive exotics.

Fully feathered chickens

The cutest chicks are now fully feathered! They are cochins, not silkies. Still not sure whether they're boys or girls.

2 chicks and a kitty

The chicks are getting bigger. They're starting to feather out, but I don't think they're silkies.

We got chicks!

We went to buy food for the quail and brought these two chicks home! I wasn't planning on bringing any home, but another woman said they were silkies because they were feather footed, and I had it in mind that I wanted silkies.

Seedlings graduation

It's the end of the school year. We're done at seedlings. The graduates are crossing a bridge to new adventures.

One last time at the park together.

Vietnamese Language Learning

I bought a set of kids learning books from a company in California, designed for younger english readers to learn Vietnamese. I really could not get into this series. The first book seems designed for the K grade, with a letter-sized book(all the rest in the series is a smaller format, basically half-legal sized) and practice with letter writing (in print) and coloring. I'm not sure how the books correspond to grades, but since my plan was to do cursive first, the whole print thing was a deal breaker.

Couldn't find book 1 while I was taking pictures!

Found this book on Amazon, formerly from the Sacramento Library. It's obviously a bilingual book, while the ones above are mainly in Vietnamese.
