Which Came First? The Egg, or the...Egg?

I was totally going to make the title of this post into an egg pun.

Possibly including:

Eggstraordinary!

or

Eggcellent!

or

Eggciting!

But I thought that would be a cop out. Too easy.



Many of my garden blogging friends keep chickens. Curbstone Valley Farms springs foremost in my mind. If you want to talk chicken, this is the place to go. I hadn't realized just how many types of chickens there are in this world.

I saw this article in our local paper, the Jacksonville Daily News. A chicken at a local farm was laying multiple double-shelled eggs!

Craziness...

So this short post is for my Chicken-Hugging friends, and for the rest of you that just might find it cool like I did.

And make sure you leave me your best egg pun in your comment! I have high standards you know!

These Boots Were Made For Clucking

Mr. A bought me the best. garden ornament. ever.




It's a chicken. In boots. A surprised looking chicken in boots.

Chicken in Boots!!!!



I swear, nothing's made me this happy in a long time. Well, maybe in the last week. :)

I did a dance around the store with my chicken in boots. The customers were looking at me like I'd lost it. And of course I had lost it. :)

I don't even know if I'll put him in my garden. I may put him on my windowsill. Where he can look surprised every time I do the dishes. Or look surprised every time I make a chicken sandwich.

Aw, that's just cruel. I'm sorry Chicken in Boots. :( You're my new best friend!
