Don't you feel sorry for the chicken who laid that honker! This was laid last summer and was a triple-yoker. We had double yokes all the time but this one was worth a pic. We also have the chickens that lay green eggs. John loves having chickens. He can tell you every different kind of breed, what color eggs they have, what kind of toothpaste they like- he knows everything about chickens. He and Riley gather the eggs- because I HATE chickens. I have always disliked birds. My great grandma Virginia had one of those little talking birds and it scared the snot out of me. It was just too weird. So now that gets me out of the egg gathering business, but that leaves the "cleaning the poop off the eggs" business for me. Yipee! Actually it isn't too bad and I love having farm eggs around. I have perfected the art of deviled eggs. Every single get together we bring deviled eggs.
The next pic I meant to post a while back. Before Christmas we had a great snow and the Heaton's came over to sled. John hooked up an old car hood to his truck and toted everyone around the farm. Sammy had just fallen asleep so we waited at the house. The girls had a great time- when they got in we had hot chocolate then decided to order pizza. We don't get together with the Heaton's as much as we used to- their kids keep them hopping, but we always have a great time when we do.
Tomorrow I will be posting about our Homeschool Coop Valentine Party.
