Four Part Harmony

Today was a beautiful spring day in Portland.
We had our share of clouds, but the sun shone through in the afternoon, and we thought it would be a good opportunity to give the chicks their first taste of the wild freedom of the backyard.
They stayed huddled up together for quite a while, not quite knowing what to make of it.
The grass was getting pretty tall, and the terrain wasn’t easy to traverse.
After 20 minutes or so though, they started to embrace their new-found freedom and ventured out a bit.
They managed to find a few bugs, and were peeping quite contentedly.
We let them roam about for an hour or so, while we alternatingly did some yardwork, chased Anna around, and lounged about in the sun.
A finer Sunday afternoon couldn’t hardly be had.
