* Eggs

Backyard chickens are all the rage these days and we decided about a year ago to join the fun and start doing things and making choices to help us become more self reliant. Big J made us a coop out of an old dog house that wasn't being put to use anymore and some wood from all the salt pallets he accumulates over the winter from his snow removal business. We love our coop and so do the chickens, we have really happy fat chickens. They require very little maintenance and don't create smell, like some would have you think, they also eat all your table scraps. We feel weird when we put ANYTHING down the disposal. Since we are a small family, we often find ourselves with a surplus of eggs so we like to give them away when we have the opportunity. I went on Picnik and made this cute label and tied it with a ribbon and gave it away to one of our neighbors.  We feel so fortunate to be able to do these little things for others.  They are small but often provide others with the greatest amount of joy.  Spread it around today if you are able!
