    What a beautiful bowl of goodies, nothing better than farm fresh eggs! What are you doing with the rhubarb? I tried this recipe and it has gotten rave reviews.

    That looks like the makings of a lovely onion and tomato quiche! And maybe a rhubarb crumble for dessert? Yum!

    There's nothing like the freshest produce you have grown yourself. Tastes better than anything. Blessings from over here. I hope the old saying 'No news is good news' applies in your case. x x

    Hi Kaaren, gosh your veges look great and your new 'girls' are producing well! When I got my 1st lot of chooks they were 'araucanas' lovely smokey grey/lilac colour and they lay 'blue' eggs! very light in colour so when i got new ones it was lovely to get big brown eggs! As it is winter here they are off the lay except one but i haven't had to buy any as yet. hope it's good news for you . sue~n.z.

    I hope you find out the answers soon. The not knowing would drive me crazy. I am so in love with your quilts and with your chickens. I have been asking hubby for some chickens for months now. I just want 3 females to lay eggs for us. Everyone thinks I am crazy. We do not live out in the country but I think we are allowed to have them in the county.
    Hugs to you and prayers also being said for you and your family.
    Hugs,
