Tiny Eggs & Big Tattletales 🥚🐓

 

I’m so excited—three of our chickens have started laying their adorable little eggs! They’re tiny, but oh my goodness, they’re just the cutest things.

Today brought a bit of unexpected chicken drama. I accidentally left one of the girls outside the run while the other five were locked in. I didn’t notice until I checked the camera and saw her wandering happily around the yard. When I went out to bring her back in, she was living her best life—scratching, pecking, and exploring like she owned the place. Meanwhile, the five inside were tattling up a storm! Oh, the squawking! You’d think they were filing formal complaints about the injustice. They really are so much like children.

School starts tomorrow, and the Early Learning Center kicked off yesterday. The past few days have been filled with early mornings, late nights, and a to-do list that never ends. I’m running on coffee and determination, but I know it’s going to be an amazing year.

With the rush of back-to-school, my sourdough starter has been neglected, and the chickens haven’t had quite as much outside time as usual. But once things settle into a steady rhythm, I’ll be back to my two favorite hobbies—baking and chicken watching. Life changes with the seasons, and I’m so grateful for the joy each one brings.
