Tom and I just celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary. Our gift to each other was chickens, specifically four "Americana" or "Easter Egger" chicks less than 48 hours old. They're not a pure breed, but they should lay the famous blue-shelled eggs of their Araucana ancestors.
I picked them out at a local feed store with an eye toward eye candy. Clockwise from the left are Bonnie (red), Grace (black), Joni (blond) and Pearl (multicolor).
Extra credit if you figure out how we chose their names. As you can see, they're already bonding with Tom (though I think I heard Joni the prima donna cheep that he should use conditioner on his beard). --SW

awe...so cute! Great gift to each other! I have absolutely no idea why you gave them the names you did..I look forward to finding out why!
All in good time, my pretty, all in good time...
They seem to be named for female vocalists, possibly according to hair color.
You're hot, Lanny, very hot - now, which female vocalists?
Bonnie Raitt, Grace Slick, and Joni Mitchell, obviously...but I don't know a Pearl with hair like that.
Sure you do! But in this case it's a pseudonym.
Bonnie Raitt, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell, and Janis Joplin. I win! I win! I win!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Yes, YOU WIN!
