Birthday Party!

July 12th, 2008 · 1 Comment

I was just reading in some farmer lady’s blog that she didn’t get any eggs today because it was too hot.  Apparently, my harem likes it that way, cuz I scored three!  The last one came from Ethel, the Australorp, who I guess had a lot of trouble getting it out since it’s shaped more like… a… breakfast sausage? than an egg.  Still, she stayed well within the 33g-35g range to which beginning chickens are restricted.

We had a MONSTER BASH in our yard today, and it was quite excellent.  One attendant told me that my yard was like “AdventureLand”.  Excellent.

Lemon PoundcakeI made lemon poundcake with fresh whipped cream and strawberries from the yard.

ConcentrationThe birthday boy declared it acceptable.

Drummer BoyThen marched off the calories with the excellent musicians (Caroline and Maggie) leading a train around the yard.  (As I think about it, the cake came after, but this makes a better story.)

Chicken SerenadingThey even serenaded the chickens.  Maybe THAT explains the extra eggs?!  Nope.  Eggs came first.  I’m not going to lie about everything.

Sad KidThat weird sad kid showed up again.  Seems like he’s naked a lot.  His parents ought to be ashamed of themselves.
