joy in the Mornings

Yes, that’s right! I’ve been anxiously waiting for my three little hens to pull their weight around here and just this afternoon, one of them presented me with a fresh egg!

Woohoo!

If you wonder what the big deal is, try a fresh, farm-raised egg and compare it to the pale substitutes found in the stores and you’ll find the farm eggs much better in taste, color and nutrition.

I got my chickens this year with the intention of having a supply of fresh eggs and I’ve been watching and waiting and watching and waiting and waiting some more.

Today, my journey is complete - I have reached my goal.

Mind you, only one of the three hens left an egg, but I’m sure the other two are working on it.

Either way, I have one fresh egg that I’m quite proud of. Eggs are getting expensive and anything that helps ease the budget a bit is great. So bring on the eggs!
