Some of your are so invested in this with us. I went out to the coop today to open the door. We have very strong winds today, and the coop door had blown shut. I opened it and stepped inside. One of the roosters was in the nesting boxes and I was so distracted that I nearly stepped on our very first egg. I looked down after he hopped out of the box and there was an egg right next to my boot.
It had been there for a while, so I am not sure who laid it. It’s all scratched up from chicken feet stepping on it. I asked them who did it, but would you believe those chickens didn’t answer me? We’ve had our oldest chickens for 28 weeks. We’ve all celebrated our egg. It’s a big bright spot since we lost another chicken. Quite literally. We have no idea where she went and there has been no sign of her since Sunday. Poor girl.
I also go a surprise second shipment of garlic, which I did not order. I e-mailed the company right away, and they generously told me to keep it. MORE garlic next year? Yes, please.
I hope that you are finding tiny and large joys sprinkled throughout your days. These times are difficult for all of us. Our state has gone back in tiers, which is overwhelming. We are once again having to pivot at work and the way we are able to function to serve the public. I’m thankful it’s not another stay-at-home order.. yet. I’m not losing any hours.. yet. I’m thankful for my job. I am thankful for Scott’s job and the overtime he is still able to get. We are truly blessed.
