    YAY!! :woof: Congratulations on your pink egg!!

    Not sure when my girls will start laying. I suspect it will be a while. The man I bought them from said maybe by Jan as they need to adjust to a new environment. And it doesn’t help that the weather here in central Indiana has been YUCKY lately. I want sun! :hissyfit:

    :purr: The pink egg is nice, but I am totally a cat lover and your black kitty is just so adorable. He has the look of “put that thing away and pet me”

    Beautiful eggs! I’m so jealous of all y’all with chickens. As for the critters assisting in the typing, I’ve got 3 cats and 1 little dog. The dog is always attached, & there’s always 1 of the cats attached & if I’m having a bad arthritis flare, they ALL are ministering to me. If I could only get them to “make biscuits” on cue on my back.

    Your egg basket is very colorful!

    Don’t you know that a cat getting the attention it wants is more important than work. :purr:

    The eggs are gorgeous! As for the cat – I have a desktop, not laptop, and Emma jumps on the slight shelf in front of it then down a level to walk on my keyboard when she wants attention. She has typed some very strange things, changed the screen, and even “sent” an email I hadn’t completed! Man, when they want to be the center of things there’s no stopping them!!! :catmeow:

    Woo hoo, fresh eggs, and pretty too!

    That kitty is adorable, just love those dreamy eyes. A kitty that shows you love, you ARE the chosen one.

    Hey, did you know you were mentioned in ‘The Little Egg Farm’ the other day – your recipe for Grandmother’s bread was featured, to go along with her lasagna, mmmmm ..

    Off to cook my own cheesey scrambled eggs now, enjoy your Sunday.

    Pretty egg and gorgeous kitty. :purr:
    My cats have gotten so tired of not being able to climb in my lap with the laptop that they have taken to climbing on my shoulders. I must admit on cold nights when I work online til 3am, I don’t mind the purring scarf.

    Just beautiful – cats and eggs. With 6 cats there isn’t one seat in my house that one of them hasn’t claimed as their own spot to sit on my lap lol.

    What kind of chickens do you have? I would love to get some this spring and am still researching the varieties. I am really wanting Araucanas (lays colored eggs, they have no tail and often a tuft on one side of their neck/head), but the real deal is very rare in Canada, much less in my province. It is more common to find the cross: Americana (better known as the Easter Eggers, they have tails and no tufts). I guess that is how it is sometimes. But…I am really curious what would lay the pink egg.

    LK, we have all kinds of chickens–our Easter Eggers are the Ameraucanas. Probably the pink egg was actually a pink-tinted light brown one from one of the chickens that lay brown eggs but I don’t know which one. I get pink eggs occasionally still.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
