I am getting eggs but not enough to share. <br />My girls say that the eggs from the store stink. <br />I do hope you have a lovely week, and I am so sorry about your hen.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211585144707526222.post-2540562774985976102011-10-09T19:55:43.606-04:002011-10-09T19:55:43.606-04:00Sorry to hear you lost another of your girls.

Maybe the weather is so up and down it's hard on the poor birds. Poor Homer, getting old is not for the faint at heart, even for dogs. <br /> Painting the house? You have more energy than me. I had to take a nap before going to the barn today, I couldn't even muster enough energy to clean out my garden.
