A new friend mentioned that she had a bunch of chickens, and more eggs than they could use. I jokingly (?) said I would gladly take them. I have a kid that would eat scrambled eggs every day of the week if we made them. So she invited me to stop by and get some, and she wasn't kidding. I left with eggs by the two dozen, and that barely dented the collection in the fridge! Of course, I was as excited about the pictures I could take with these lovely little gems as I was at the prospect of fresh, free range, free eggs!! And as I was contemplating photo ideas, I remembered that I had recently found an abandoned nest on the ground. (There are also brown and beige eggs.)
I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.
There is nothing I like more than fresh eggs, Karen! I would have chickens if I could! I love the blue color!
