The Need For Winter

Some of the hens have started laying again. A true sign that climate change is real and an important reason why we need actual winter/actual seaswons. Winter is intended to be a time of rest for all living beings, and is so important for our sweet hens as a lot of energy and effort goes into creating an egg a day. They need winter, and so do we. Winter is supposed to be a time of conserving energy/going inward. A time of rest an renewal so that when spring comes every living being is ready for the rebirth that comes with it. xo

A Visit to the Farm

Today we were blessed with amazing weather, and not wanting to miss out on enjoying this beautiful day the girls and I headed to Hanson's Farm to buy some eggs (we'd heard their hens were "laying like crazy") and visit the farm animals.  We had participated in their first ever CSA last year and we were very sad when the 20 weeks came to an end.  What would we do without our weekly trips to the farm for our local produce and flowers?

We arrived and selected some of the most beautiful eggs you have ever seen.  They truly look like they belong on the cover of a Martha Stewart magazine.  The girls really loved seeing the different colors of the egg shells.

We hope that you had a chance to get out and enjoy this lovely weather.
It was just what we needed after being inside for so long!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend, and as always, we'll see you tomorrow!
