A day of firsts...


So, today we received our first precious egg from our chickens!!!  Such excitement!  We have painted a face on our beloved first egg, and it has pride of place in the kitchen on the ornament shelf.  There is some debate who is responsible for laying the golden egg... Layla seems to think that her Lucy is the chicken goddess, and Evie, is fairly certain it was her Wonder Chicken... Mark and I however, are a little concerned that it was the escapee chicken who has layed the egg, and therefore won't be laying anymore... (another story).

The girls and I have planted our heirloom vegetable and flower seeds that we ordered from eden seeds.  They are organic and we're super excited to see speckled pumpkins and multicoloured corn cobs in the next few months.  The weather is warming up, and we are certain to have a scorcher of a summer... bring it on!

We had a lovely adventure to the most beautiful plant nursery today... the girls and I enjoyed a cup of devonshire tea and scones, and then slowly meandered through the beautifully presented gardens and took our time to "smell the roses", and get lost in the African box mazes... so much fun!!!  We are looking forward to making our scarecrow... we have so much inspiration now!  I LOVE spring! xo
