The Friendly Neighborhood Rooster

This is our colorful little neighborhood rooster. He comes over with his little brown hen and they peck around my yard looking for delicous bugs. I have not taken a good picture of the hen yet, but I will post one when I do.
Isnt the rooster cute?

Update on Matts Injuries

Matt is slowly healing. That big scrape on his back is healing pretty well and his knee is starting to scab over.

We went to see the orthopedic surgeon on Thur and found out Matt has 2 fractures in his left hand, but since they are not on the joint he just needed a cast. He got a bright green one. The bad news is his right wrist IS broken on the joint where a tendon attaches and he does need surgery (with pins) to put that one back in place.

Wed Mar 4 is when he will be going in for surgery and because I have taken off a few days to help take care of him, he thinks we will be leaving town right after the surgery to go take a "vacation". He is so silly. I dont think he realizes how much pain he will be in after surgery. So the only place we will be going after surgery is home!

Here are some pictures of his wrists and hands after taking off the splints the emergency room put on.
