I Could Almost Kill Steve...

You may be wondering who Steve is, and why I'm so mad at him...well I'm glad you asked.  Steve is our new pet.  He is a stray rooster who wandered up to our house about three weeks ago, and decided to stay.  He follows the boys around the yard like a puppy.  He's a great conversation starter with friends and neighbors...but he starts crowing every morning at 4:30!!! That's right 4:30.  That is...except for today...it was 3:30.  I was in our front yard at 4:00 this morning in my underwear, throwing soccer balls at him yelling - "Shut Up Steve".  How about that for a crazy neighbor.

Ol' Steve has become a fixture around here, and I suppose I couldn't kill him if I really wanted to...but he better get back to 4:30, or we might have chicken and noodles next week for Sunday dinner.

Have a great week.

When I was a kid we had a rooster that caused me no little amount of trouble each day whil trying to gather eggs and feed the other chickens. I rejoice to say that after a few of these encounters,my mom made chicken and noodles for dinner.....
I still love that meal....

Do with this comment whatever you wish.

Oh yes the rooster wake up call, one of the few things I don't miss about living in the country with chickens:)
