for amy
On a trip to a very charming local (to her) farm, Amy found some pretty green eggs. I've been meaning to snap a quick picture of the technicolor eggs my dad's chickens have been laying. Sometimes they are even a little blueish. My mom says they are practicing for Easter- no dying necessary.
J feeding the chickens a few summers ago. This picture always makes me smile. (That t-shirt fits now.)
Well, that's all. Still cleaning like a mad woman here. A friend stopped by last night at 9:15 on a whim and the house was perfectly pop-in ready. No dirty kid undies on the floor. No stacks of junk mail. Toys put away. I was darn tootin' proud.

are you trying to say it's not proper to have dirty undies on the floor?

Good for you! People always tend to pop in on me at the worst possible moment. Hate that!

I love the "pre-colored" eggs. We always get excited when we get a green one from the farm.

Thanks! It looks exactly the same as what we got -- brown, white and green -- So cool!
Unexpected guests eh -- like they always talk about in magazines....and how you are supposed to be ready for them. We never have unexpected guests.
I need to be doing the same though but haven't even got all the christmas stuff off the kitchen table yet! Bleh!

pretty eggs. i love the colored ones.
don't you love when unexpected guests come and the house is tidy? doesn't happen often, but it is a great feeling.

Ooh, guest-ready. That must feel good!
We get eggs from the Red Barn Farm a lot, and they are all sizes and colors -- fun.
