surprise!

look what we found in our backyard...a chicken!

buster was so excited!  we had no idea where it came from and ended up giving it away to a friend of a friend.  as it turns out, our neighbors had started raising chickens and one of them flew the coop.  i felt so bad for giving the chicken away.
