In which Pipey delivers

Remember when Neatnik blogged about our chickens and how my allergies meant we had to give away the chickens? Well, the hens are doing quite well. Emma and Ash are still living with Pipey and his wife and Emma has started laying already! Pipey delivered us a half dozen Emma-eggs this morning.

Neatnik has been suffering from a migraine for the past day and a half so she is home sick today. I made her a special lunch.

Lunch ala Emma

Apparently, Emma produces some very fine eggs because they were gone before I could even ask for a taste. I am hiding the remaining four eggs so that Number Guy and I get to sample the goods.

Sadly, Elle, Red, and Dee all grew up into fine roosters so Pipey couldn't keep them. He got three more hens and the roosters went to live at a new farm.

5 yarns:

Yay for fresh eggs!

But, oh, poor Neatnik - that's early for migraines. :(

Barbara said...

Mmm, fresh eggs.

Is that a knitted napkin?

Hope Neatnik's migraine goes away fast, but I guess it's already too late for fast. Poor baby.

Farm fresh eggs cure a lot of ills. My boss keeps chickens and I'm the first to grab a dozen when she does! I don't know how well they work on migraines, though. Feel better, Neatnik!

Helloooooooo???? I hope you're ok... It's been a really, really long time.

Please come back. We miss you a whole bundle. And I worry about Neatnik and her migraines. And you with your classes. And a whole lot of other things like snow and bicycle trips and such. Paula in Iowa
