Wow eggs are good for a LONG time!

 Have you ever realized how long your eggs are good for?

Before I bought our first chickens, I looked on line trying to find out how long my eggs were going to be good for after they were gifted to me by my hens. It was not untill I was looking up breeds of chickens that I found this video, how to read egg cartons! It is amazing that the eggs most people buy in the store thinking they are fresh, are actually about 2-3 months old or at least it has been that long from the date they were boxed!

Funny thing is, I find myself checking a few of the egg cartons in the stores when I am out shopping! Yes, that is me, the one getting funny looks because I am checking all the boxes and not buying any.

You should watch the video and then run to your fridge (you know you will) and check your fresh eggs and see how old they really are!

My grandma Evelyn was shocked, not cause of the eggs but because I knew this information! Ha Ha I figured I would share this with you and I wanted to also because I just figured out how to put a link into the middle of my sentance. Yes, it is the little things that make me happy!

Good Night, happy egg gathering in the morning!

Lots of snow days & now girl time!

  This is the lil bit of beautiful sun that we got between snow cession earlier this week!

This is Bently trying to avoid touching the snow.... It didn't work very well.

  Bently is now an indoor outdoor cat, but he is not to sure about this cold white fluffy stuff. At first he didn't even wanna touch the snow.

 We have been having a lot of fun in the snow with the kids and dogs, but aside from that we had a great dinner that the chief made from our left over ham the other night. He made amazing split pee soup! It looks horrible, but taste like heavenly goodness.
      ?????Not sure why this part is whited out????

 In  other food news we have a total of 3 blue eggs now. One of which is HUGE!

Bottom is our first egg, Top is the second, and middle was our third. I can't tell if they are from different girls or black beard is just getting a bit "loose". lol

The girls are not to sure about the snow.

The piggies could care less....

The dogs on the other hand are loving the snow. Jazz just wants Baricade to go away some times.

Well, I guess that is away to get a break from Baricade. There is no way Cade could get up there, his back legs and hips are not strong enough. Jazz got the idea from the kids being on the work trucks and machines for our snow ball fight.

Chase had the upper hand.

The boys are so good about possing for me when I take pics.

This was our sunset the night before it began to snow....

This is the creek on the lower part of our property, It is sooo beautiful. Summer it is great too.

Our 3 boys have gone to an uncles house for some fun as the girls just got back from there. So our two girls and my youngest sister Carmen are haning out, playing poker and planning on doing some baking!
  Other than snow and more snow along with no school, there is not much to report for the last couple of days.
Hope everyone is enjoying the snow!
