Jellybean met another new species today... chickens! The family raised the chickens from hatchlings, and earth mom said that tomorrow, all but one will be going to live on a friend's farm. Her friend is a vegetarian, so we know they'll be ok! First, Jellybean met David Bowie, a tall chicken with a topknot, and Foosball, a black fluffy ball of a chicken. Then S. introduced him to her pet chicken, Lydia (who will not be going to the farm). Lydia is very soft and silky, and was very patient with Jellybean!

Jellybean went with two of the kids, Sam Sam, DraperDuck, and his earth mom to release YelloBird into the wild, on the Prairie Spirit trail, near Colony, Kansas. It was a beautiful day and there were so many lovely flowers and such gorgeous scenery to marvel at! JellyBean met a new species called butterfly! It was small, delicate, and flitted around so delightfully!

On the way home from releasing YelloBird, Jellybean insisted earth mom stop for pictures of some of the lovely scenery! And, he just had to say hello to a box turtle that was crossing the road, as well as greet a new species that earth mom said is called "horse." For more pictures of the day, click here.

Today was a quiet day at home and Jellybean watched earth mom start a new sewing project. She says it's the coat for a Pokemon Blastoise (turtle looking thing) gijinka (humanized form) for Zury. He is very excited and so is earth mom. Jellybean helped with cutting out the pattern.

Over lunch hour, earth mom took Jellybean and the other TVs to see the caboose in Garnett. It was such a pretty red, and fun to climb on!

Jellybean was excited to see how the garden is growing! It's been very hot and earth mom goes to water each night, around the time the sun goes down. Today was the longest day of the year, so it was around 9 pm and the sun was still not down!

Jellybean went to the summer program with the kids today. She learned about flying kites and the swimming pool. Then she ate lunch in the cafeteria. Finally, someone volunteered to make her a necklace.

Jellybean and her host family went to the Farmer's Market! Every Thursday in spring and summer, one block on the town square is roped off for foot traffic only and local people bring lots of fresh, wonderful things for sale! We found our friends who raise fresh honey and they gave each of the kids a yummy honey stick. Jellybean admired the handicrafts, then helped pick out colorful carrots.

Jellybean was very excited to go to a play in the park today! It was put on by the community theater, with all the parts acted out by local teens and tweens. They did a fabulous job and the audience enjoyed booing and hissing at the villains! Jellybean enjoyed snuggling on the blanket with the other TVs and the earth family.

Jellybean was excited that the earth family took him to a free concert and dinner at the park! Jellybean was even more excited to meet a new species- ladybug! There were quite a few hanging out in the grass.
