Chicken in a Basket ... (and some kale seeds)

Our little chickens are so cute and curious. Every time one of us goes to do laundry, the chickens are always right there investigating. The other day I had just emptied the basket to the line and left the basket sit on the ground. One chicken (Brianna could tell you the name) jumped up on the basket and tried to perch. As soon as she landed on the edge, the basket tipped over right on top of her. Of course she started to panic slightly and the others that were near seemed a bit confused. It was very entertaining :) We left her in long enough to grab the camera (less than a minute) and then let her go.

Our kale has finally dried enough to harvest the seeds. Last evening after supper several of us were 'shelling the kale' or whatever you'd call it. Here are a few pictures of the kale pods and seeds. We have thousands and thousands of seeds now :) all set for the next several years I guess. Of course we'll be giving some away too. For pictures of kale from start to finish, see this post on saving kale seeds.
