Thursday Busyness
Snow flurries and overcast skies greeted me at sunrise; pretty much a raw morning as the wind is whipping around, making it feel much, much colder. The high temperature today is supposed to be 24, so the daily pattern of “break ice, fill with warm water, repeat” will continue so the sheep and chickens will have something to drink. Meanwhile, Lily is tending the fire for me while I make a pot of tea, and by tending, I mean napping upright on her pillow.
On my agenda for today, along with a mountain of laundry: cleaning up the last of the decorations and messes from Christmas, like the one I made in my sewing room while wrapping presents a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been able to put off dealing with that by just staying out of that room, but yesterday I couldn’t find my scissors in the midst of all the clutter, so its time. I also want to finish binding a small lap quilt I made for myself. The fabric has a Christmas theme and colors, but I used some really nice warm batting between the la…

What a difference!
ReplyDeleteHope you and Lily have a wonderful day, Paula!

Is there a big difference in the size of the hens?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be great.. selling a mixed batch of eggs like that.
You could have large eggs and small eggs all in one carton :)
Hope today is a wonderful day for you!

Ha ha!! We've had the same thing happen...I think it's pretty cool! Especially when you get a double yoker!!!
ReplyDeleteDo the hens compare their eggs-have contests? Some of your gals sure have the personality to compete....
ReplyDeleteSomeone is eating their Wheaties!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, looks like you're comparing store-bought eggs to farm eggs! We started buying from a friend last year and I still can't get over how much bigger the eggs are that I get from her!!
ReplyDeleteHmm...I'd say that's a definite possibility! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge difference! Same chicken?
ReplyDeleteWowzers! Was it a double yolk?
ReplyDeleteI love everyone's comments on this so far!
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify~ these eggs are from two different Rhode Island Red hens~ same size and everything... the egg on the left is half the size of a "normal" egg and the one on the right is so big it won't fit into a regular egg carton!
The funny thing is they were both laid on the same day.
I found them the next morning and thought, "Hmmmm..."
i like your title. thanks for the added explanation. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining...I had no clue, Paula! Wow...what a difference! That one on the right must be a whopper to not fit in an egg carton! Are they both equally as good? :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Tammy
MUST BE!Hahaaaa

Poor hen! Did you cook this big egg? If so, who ate it?
ReplyDeleteSuch a difference! But always good to get fresh eggs, no matter what size!
ReplyDeleteIts a Momma egg and baby eggs tee hee
ReplyDeleteThat's a big Difference.. I was about to say that I bet the small one was from a Bannie Hen..My Mom used to have those.. Then I read your comment..That's amazing..Blessings
ReplyDeletewow, BOL

Love the eggs. It is so much fun gathering home hatched eggs, isn't it? We never know what the variety of size & colors will be.Every day is like an Easter egg hunt!
ReplyDeleteHum, I wonder how you could calculate that large one in a recipe.
ReplyDeleteBottle the water and sell it~ Remember the ole time peddlers with their miracle elixirs?
