Our first egg!

Many of you have been joining us in our experience of beginning a new life of farming and growing livestock.  We are happy to announce that after many months of sacrificing our basement, our time, our energy and our sleep (thanks to our rooster) our chickens are starting to do their job!  Please, please, hold your applause!  Seven days ago we received our first egg.  It was small and blue.  Awesome!  Raquel was insanely excited about it...so excited in fact that it slipped out of her hand and broke on the floor.  She was devastated.  She cried and cried and kept saying that she "wanted the egg scrambled."  She recovered, however, the next day when there was another egg waiting for her!

This is it people.  This is a sustainable, real, intensely satisfying lifestyle.  This is the way we were supposed to eat.
