Lay Lady Lay

The girls went with me to pick up my organic, free range, eggs from spoiled rotten hens. K. Bug was so surprised when she saw the chicken laying an egg. And the egg lady (Debbie) let her hold it. The egg not the chicken. So clean and so warm.

Such a cute little laying house. Don't you love the words.

This is the chicken run. They would run along beside Goose. They move the run every couple of weeks so they have fresh grass and it allows the grass to regrow. They have a place to lay, to potty, and to run. They eat special food plus food Debbie brings home from the school cafeteria. She makes popsickles out of some of it for summer feeding. The girls fed them wild strawberries.

This house is on wheels so it can be moved. In the winter they move the house into the barn. Just a little barn as they live in a neighborhood on about 2 acres.

Here Debbie is letting K. Bug feed the chickens clover. The girls had so many questions. Where does the egg come out of? Are you eating the baby chicken eggs? Why do they need a Daddy Rooster if they want baby chickens. Now what hole.......I'll spare you those questions? On and on and on the questions came.

After the visit I needed to go to the store but they needed to wash hands. So we went to McDonalds and they had "chicken" nuggets. For some reason that didn't seem right. The didn't seem to make the connection, thank goodness. On to Target, back to our house to let the doggies. As I was unloading I shut the trunk on half the eggs. Guess who had scrambled eggs for dinner.

Onto other things.......how can this be Thursday already. It seems like we just got back from the beach. The girls parents are on another trip. Both are teachers, nice to have the summers off. Right now the girls are having a sleepover with their Aunt from Colorado at her mothers house. Does that make sense. I will pick them up in the morning and spend another night with them.

My Hubby is still using my car........his is being fixed but not too quickly. I am driving my son's big Tahoe. It's really big considering I drive a bug. I have this feeling that I may be stranded next week without a car....SO.....I stopped at Archivers today to get some cool summer paper to scrap my beach pictures. I made a couple mini albums for my sweet friend Kathy that made the road trip with me today. (I forgot to take pictures to share with you so you can see I do something other than watch kids) Kathy and her husband are in town this week for meetings. It was so much fun spending a little time with her today. She was excited about seeing the littles. She is a brand new Grammy herself. A sweet little boy.

Okay I had better wrap this up. Thanks for your prayers for my friends. I am sorry some of you are having such horrible heat right now. We are having lots of storms. Stay cool chicks. (He he)
