Morning surprise!



WOO -HOO! DH found this in the hen house this morning. Our first egg!


It was the tiniest egg I've ever seen, but the best. We shared it for lunch, scrambled on wholemeal toast with some salad fresh from the greenhouse ( back in october we planted rocket, endive, assorted lettuces, beetroot and turnip for a winter supply of baby leaves).

Spring is coming!

Congratulations! I bet it was the tastiest egg and all the better for sharing :-)
(and thanks for identifying the birds!)

I would love to have chickens just for fresh eggs. You'd think living in Champlain it would be allowed, but no. I don't care what they think, I'm in the country! lol Glad you enjoyed that egg. keep well!

What a lovely surprise to start your day! I really like the nine patch in your last post, I'm not a quilter but when I see things like that I want to be:) I worked all day in my garden on Friday too, it was so good to see the sun. No toads or frogs though so far - I do often come across them unexpectedly and it's a contest as to which of us jumps highest when we startle each other.
