The van drives up and out pops little bright-eyed Ella.  And trailing her is her mother with an egg carton!  With ten eggs!  Strange-colored eggs.  Almost a robin egg blue, but not quite.  I smile and say thanks!  After taking Ella back to the chicken ranch (not to mention a stamping garage, acres of organic gardening, hundreds of twittering birds, and a scrappy little dog named Joey 
), we mosied over to the chicken coop.  And there they were!  ALL 16 of the chickens.  I couldn't spot our 'wanderer' from last week, but to me, they still all looked like they were missing a bit of IQ.  I guess God didn't intend chickens to be smart.  Otherwise they wouldn't taste good going down in egg or chicken breast form. 
Which leads me to the scrambled eggs I fed the family this morning.  They were just awesome.  YUM.  Fresh!  I feel like a granola cruncher now.  
And now off to the tasks at hand.  Mr. Real Estate Man is coming tomorrow afternoon to get our home listed.  I run a fairly tight ship around here, but I do need to tweak and change and clean and make it show-ready by tomorrow afternoon.  So no Lazy Linda days for the next while.
