I LOVE having fresh eggs every morning! I don't eat them every morning, but I love when the kiddos bring them in from the hen-house every morning. E-man is in charge of the farm animals (currently there are only chickens!)so he gets up each morning and runs down to "check the chickens." They are collected in an egg basket that I wove myself many years ago, still warm and sometimes have bits of shavings from the nesting boxes stuck to them.
We get several different colors of eggs. White eggs come from our two bantams. Greenish/bluish are layed by the Aracaunas, and the Rhode Islands generously deliver a variety of brown eggs. We get about 10 eggs each day, now that it is winter.
The W Family owns half of our chickens and they keep a couple dozen eggs every week. The rest are usually sold or eaten by our family. I really enjoy selling farm fresh eggs from happy hens! It brings such satisfaction to know that I can contribute to our financial stability - I bring in about $2.00/week! It's not about the money - obviously - but it is fun!
"Ant" another thing I want to mention before I close, I had a mental block on how to work in that last syllable of the title into something clever. Guess it won't happen this time!
