I’m also thankful for fresh eggs. We ordered chicks in May and have been raising a little flock of 30 assorted laying hens all summer. Just last week they started laying and it has been so much fun to hunt around for a hidden brown egg or two each day when we move their pen to fresh grass. Today, however, we were excited to find six eggs, including a sea green one courtesy of one of our Ameraucana ladies.
But most of all, I’m so thankful for a quiet evening with my best friend, eating black bean chipotle chili and Cornish pasties for dinner on this cold, rainy evening, and then snuggling up to watch The Emperor’s New Groove. (Grown-ups do that, right?).
This makes me so incandescently happy and miss you a lot!
ReplyDeleteI considered hashing out the "let's turn him into a flea" - "soooo is everything ready for tonight?" - "I'm so glad I was unconscious for all of this" - "you're not just gonna let him die like that, are you?" scenes in this comment (since that's the only sizable chunk I still have fully memorized, which is still commendable, I think, but not nearly as skillfull as my earlier quoting self), but I figured it was better without. Because.. adults don't do that, right? *sigh* I MISS YOU.
Don't you mean OR we'll burn your house to the ground? That's a pretty crucial conjunction!
What are the odds that that trap door lead me up here?
It is not concern of mine whether your family has-- what was it again? Um.. food?
OKAY OKAY I'm done.
