Our "Girls"
So a friend asked me to take pics of our chickens, and we had fun trying to get them to hold still.
This is one of our Rhode Island Red/Americanas they lay medium sized green eggs.They are beautiful birds.But these ones do not like to be handled,especially since you can't hold them well because they are so big! We have named these ones Sasperilla and sasafrass
This is one of our Bantys, They are Gorgeous birds and personally my favorites!The have not laid eggs yet because they are molting...that is where they lose their feathers and get new ones.They do not lay eggs for 3-6 weeks .We have named them Susie and Sarah,These birds love to cuddle and you can carry them around the house and pet them.They love it.
This is a Silkie, it is a white chicken with an afro (no pun intented)it has beautiful blue on the side of its face as well. this bird is very hard to handle, it always tries to fly away when you hold it.
We are unsure of the type of bird, but to me it looks like a pigeon (thuse what i have named it,Pidge)this bird likes to rest on your finger at times as shown in the picture.It is also very curious and escapes her box alot.We just got this bird and the Silkie yesterday,so we do not know much about them. If you have any information please comment,we would like to know more.

A taste of Alaskan Fashion
I'm sure most of you who have been to Alaska know that you have to dress heavily for warmth in the winter,If you don't and have been here,you don't know Alaska's personality then.
My sister, brother-in-law, and I decided to take a walk down to the slough,and we had to dress warmly. I have not bought any winter clothes yet so heres a list of what I wore. It's pretty nuts if you ask me but then again,some nutty things have become a trend!
Leggings,leg warmers, pink camo capris, jean skirt,t-shirt,sweater,heavy winter coat, and some good winter boots. If you don't believe me that this combination is pretty nutty take a look at this!
That there,Is Alaskan Fashion.

The oldest dinosaur.
Romans 1:25
Many people mistakenly believe that dinosaurs prove evolution. After all,dinosaurs are strange creatures and seem to represent a very different world from the one we know today.But recent discovery of the most ancient dinosaur challenges this.
The oldest dinosaur ever discovered was about six feet long and weighed about 300 pounds.Scientists had never before seen a complex skeleton of the creature they called Herrerasaurus. But being the most ancient dinosaur,perhaps the dinosaur from which all others evolved,evolutionary scientists expected it to be much less advanced than later dinosaurs.What they found out was yet another well-designed creature.
The meat-eating dinosaur had excellent teeth,like those of a shark; its jawbone had a double hinge so that it could easily hang onto its prey.These sophisticated features weren't expected in such an ancient dinosaur. This is yet another proof that all creatures were well-designed from the beginning. Herrerasaurus is yet one more example of the impossibility of evolution.
Dinosaurs,just like all other creatures,were created by God during the first six days the universe existed. This means that dinosaurs and humans once shared this earth in the recent past.All things were created in a perfect state, so there was no need for evolved improvements. The changes we see since creation are not due to evolution but due to degenerating effects of sin.

Feline Secrets
A recent survey of pet owners revealed that more Americans now have cats as pets then dogs.While dogs may be "man's best friend",cats have,in certain cultures,been considered the companion of choice.
Scientists have found that the popular belief that a cat's whiskers measures the width of space it is about to enter is in error.Cats have 25 to 30 long whiskers on their heads.Each whisker is attached to its own nerve in the skin,allowing the cat to pinpoint every twig as its maneuvers through the underbrush.
A steady stare between two cats can be understood as a challenge.But a slow blink is a sign of acceptance.If you have a cat,try slowely closing your eyes and opening them again;you may find that your cat will return your signal as a sign of friendship.And did you know that you can use your cat to tell temperature of a room?Dr Hans Precht,a German animal expert,found that if the room's temperature is above 70 degrees,a cat prefers to lay in a straight position with head lifted and paws extended. From this point, the coller the room,the more the cat curled into a tight ball with its head against its hind leg.
Thankfully,God knows we need companionship.After all,He created humans for the very purpose of having caompanionship with himself.But we are not like pets,for He spared nothing,not even the life of his Son,to save us from our sins.
