Tastee delights!

We left the ladies in the caring hands of our neighbor while we were camping last week. She got fresh eggs  (and two bottles of wine) as a thank you.

The girls had much to tell us when we got home (they are very chatty, and had a week's worth of news). They made good headway on their excavation-to-China project, and left us two perfect eggs, one in each nest box. We got two more today (since we know three of the four chickens are laying, I want to know who the slacker hen is!).

It's quite nice to have them for (chatty) company while working in the vegetable garden. They were rewarded amply, with greens and calendula blossoms and their first ever tomatoes (we had a few that had split while we were gone). Now that's good eating!
