Yes!! Those are eggs from our very own chickens. We are now getting about 8-9 eggs per day from our flock of Americanas, Buff Orpingtons, Cuckoo Marins and a breed we are not sure of....I don't think the cuckoos are actually laying yet, and as there are about 26 hens out there we should be getting lots more, but right now we are thrilled and, if the ladies keep doing their job, we can take eggs off the grocery list!
We've been eating salads from the garden and even had some turnip greens last week. We've harvested all the sage and thyme and must get our sage made into wreaths and the thyme spread out to dry this week. I've got several plants of chives that I want to cut and put in the dehydrator. Jordan dug up two rosemary plants and potted them to keep in the house over the winter.
I still have applesauce to can and my countertops are covered in habenero and jalapeno peppers. This morning we'll be making up some Cowboy Candy and pineapple habanero jelly.
And then there's the Oh, and then we have the school work to do, the laundry, the cleaning and the regular cooking and baking to take care of as well. Which means I better get up from this chair and get some of the sleepy heads out of the bed! Hope you all have a great week!

Congratulations on the eggs! How exciting and wonderful!!! Fresh eggs taste so good! I remember getting them as a special treat from some friends we knew who lived on a farm.
Will would be jealous of all of the hot peppers you have! How terrific!
I will be praying for you as you get all you need to get done, done today...on top of school work.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Blessings!
