Tomatoes and Chicken Eggs

A neighbor hired Jase to water their plants/yard and feed their chicken for four days while they were gone on vacation. They paid him some cash each day plus all of the tomatoes he could pick and any chicken eggs that were hatched. They also surprised Jase with a giant king-sized candy-bar and a bag of cookies.

Jase was in heaven! I think the favorite thing for him was picking the tomatoes and getting the eggs.

Every morning he was up and taking care of their yard before I was even out of bed. (And as a side note, a month or so ago Rick put Jase in charge of our yard and he has done a good job. He has completely taken over mowing the lawn, much to Rick's delight!)

Anyway, Jase was only required to go to our neighbors once a day but he kept wanting to go more. He kept begging me to let him go back over so that he could see if any more eggs had hatched. This afternoon I was worried because he went to check on things and was gone a very long time. I drove over to see if he was okay. He said he had pulled some weeds and then was in the chicken coop waiting... That's right. He was sitting there waiting for an egg to hatch...for like and hour and a half!

Honestly! I think we need to get Jase chickens for Christmas!
