Pick a Hand Mom

That's what Aidan said when he came back from the chicken coop today.

Phew, he didn't ask me to pick a pocket.

This boy, and one of our Ameraucanas (Sally Mae? Aquamarine?), know how to make a mama happy. This is our first blue egg. I actually did a happy dance in front of the refrigerator after putting the egg safely away.

Thank you friends for all your encouraging and compassionate comments on my pity party post yesterday. You reminded me that it's perfectly normal and quite common to have a fragile egg day.

Today, though, is a blue egg day. And what a pretty hue of blue it is.

  13. #1 - You're making me SO miss our chickens. It was the best good fun, and always a miracle to see grubby boys run in the back door squealing "LOOK! Look what was in the box!"

    #2 That face. So smoochie!

    #3 I want to print out your new banner and hang in ton my wall forever and always. This is such a lovely space to be in :-)

  14. Molly, just before I left home for a trip to Cali, I found one beautiful blue egg that I've been sooo anxiously waiting for! Now that I'm back, Mom saved a dozen for me! Oh the joy!

  15. I love blue eggs! Isn't that exciting?

    We've got Rhode Island Reds and Ameraucanas too and we love them! Our oldest son (5) sells the eggs but I have a stingy habit of keeping the blue ones for ourselves! :)
