Our very first egg from our very own chickens! I can’t begin to tell you how much time, effort and cash it has taken to produce this one egg…of course, we do expect more and the benefits of free range, farm-fresh eggs are not to be disdained! With all the whooping and hollering from the children, you’d think one of them had laid it…it is rather pretty. Perfectly formed, light brown and surprisingly clean…much cleaner than the little hands that gathered it:

Here’s to at least a dozen a week!
Blessings from the chicken ranch,

I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 30 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.
