Today is Egg Day. Every other week on a Wednesday I pick up three dozen fresh eggs from my Egg Lady. I've been doing this for several months and it's such a good feeling to know that my eggs are as fresh as they can be.
My Egg Lady is a "youngish" widow who lives a few miles west of our place. She's just the nicest person and her farm is quite picturesque. She has very pretty but rather unstructured gardens around the house and garage and barn. She grows gourds and pumpkins and just about anything else a gardener who lives on a farm would grow.
Her house has a wide front porch with benches and pots of flowers and right now she's got lots of pumpkins and squash out there. She's a quilter, too.
When the grandchildren came this past summer I took them out with me on Egg Day so they could see the chickens that lay our eggs. They loved that!
I just talked to her a few minutes ago and told her I'd be there within the hour so I'd better hustle! Think I'll take the camera...maybe she'll let me take some pictures of the chickens. Which I will post, of course.

I can't wait to see the chicken pics. I love me some chickens and fresh eggs. Egg lady's garden sounds beautiful.
Gotta love fresh eggs! Yum.
Stopping by from SITS.
Chicken pictures tomorrow, POD! And Meg, thanks for stopping even though you're feeling cruddy. I hope it's not the "piggy flu" as you so lovingly call it :)
There are few things better than farm fresh eggs!
Thanks for visiting on my SITS day!
I found your blog through Tiffany's... I wish I lived close enough to live near an egg lady - the closest market is about 25 miles away - so it's the grocery store for me!
I would love to get fresh eggs like that. Just reading about the farm where you get them just makes them more tastier to me. Like getting tomatoes from a road side stand rather than a supermarket. It's more fun too!!
Thanks so much for sharing in my SITS day!
Karen, Jenny, Live.Love.Eat...if you lived close enough, I'd share.
One day I'll tell you about my experience with chickens. You can tell your egg lady and crack her right up!!!!!
(In fact, I'll probably tell you soon.... but I'm having issues with my 'puter right now, so I have to whack it a few times.)
BL, I am in suspense...can hardly wait for your chicken story!!
