Where Our Eggs Come From

This morning we took the little girls on a little field trip!  Mr. Larry, one of our church members brings us fresh eggs every Sunday.  We are spoiled by them and grocery store eggs just aren’t the same!  Mr. Larry is in Africa right now so A is tending his chickens and garden.  So, I thought it would be fun to go with him this morning so the girls could see Where Our Eggs Come From.  It was a cold morning but we enjoyed it!

On our drive out we saw the sun coming upIMG_5093   At the farmER as Millie saysIMG_5096 IMG_5097  IMG_5099 “Daddy, you are hard to keep up with”IMG_5100    This is the side view of their house from the farm.  They have a beautiful home.  His wife is an amazing hostess and cook.IMG_5104   Millie filling the water feedersIMG_5107 Lizzie’s turnIMG_5108 IMG_5109  Larry farms with horses so this is some of his equipmentIMG_5111    Daddy going in the chicken coopIMG_5115  FeedingIMG_5117 WatchingIMG_5118  They got brave enough to go in!  BUT as soon as the roosters started crowing they wanted out!IMG_5120 Finally EGGS!IMG_5121 Proud of their eggs!  IMG_5122 Got to give this group of chickens water too.  They need water so we can get more EGGS!IMG_5123      A checking the gardenIMG_5129  Front view of their house on our drive outIMG_5131 Home and EGGS in the skillet!  The girls love fried eggs.  IMG_5132  That was hard work and we needed a good warm breakfast!IMG_5134   They love their eggs “runny” and their favorite thing it to break the yoke and watch the yellow come out.  Excuse the chocolate milk faces!IMG_5137

I love all these posts, I've missed. It's been like Christmas for me catching up with the Halls! I especially love this last one. We get our eggs from one of our neighbors and we love getting them like that and not from the store. I've been saying I'm gonna take Graham and Wesley over with me some Sat. to let them see where our eggs come from! :) That is a beautiful place! It sure is beautiful here right now, with all the fall foliage and the rolling hills with hay bales! My drive this morning was absolutely beautiful with the sun coming up and the mists over the pastures!
I'm sorry I didn't call on Sat. I woke up with a migraine. The only thing I did was get dressed to take Justus out for his birthday and we did it for a late lunch so he could go out Sat. nite with the youth. I didn't even put on makeup and I came straight home and went to bed for the rest of the day. I will try later this week. I DO want to talk!!!
LOVE & MISS YOU!!!
P.S. I met Connie and Maggie at the game Fri. nite...really sweet! I hate it for the boys, esp. Justus, but part of me is glad it's over. :)

Thank you Shannon! Not sure I like you working! I miss you!

I ended up being gone most of the day Saturday. Sorry you had a migraine. Hope you are feeling better!

Love you!
