Yard work and a Surprise!

With the nice weather at the beginning of this week, I decided to tackle our vegetable garden. It was incredibly overgrown and I mean...extremely.....immensely....yikes!

David helped. :)

I've nearly finished!

Here is all the brush I've cleared out so far - I told you it was a lot!

While working in the garden this morning, I heard the rooster making a racket behind the house. It went on and on and on. Finally I went to check things out. I saw Elvis (the hen) emerge from under some brambles on the steep slope behind the wood shed. After she and Ben (the rooster) left, I crept down the slope and peered into the brambles to discover....

THESE!! I was so excited!

The girls were eggstatic (haha!) and even David was pretty interested. Allison and I looked up how to tell the age of the eggs.

One was obviously brand new and we discovered that the other is less than a week old.

They're so small!
