Anna had been sitting on six eggs for a couple of weeks and this week something ate all six of them. Hopefully this was the culprit and we are not still looking for another snake! I guess I will have to wait and see if any more eggs disappear.

Snakes
This is not what I wanted to see on my back steps this morning. I guess the snake season has officially begun.

Bad Words
Bad words are not allowed in my house. Ever.
Today as Noah and Jonah were gathering eggs from the chicken pen, (and I stood safely behind the locked gate) they could not get Beulah to come out of her laying box. I told them to leave her alone and they could come back out later to see if she was out and had left them an egg. Jonah of course listened as well as he usually does and shoved his hand right in Beulah's little nest. Beulah of course pecked his little fingers. I of course made him walk all the way across the chicken yard and out of the gate to where I was standing before I could comfort him. When he stopped crying he used his cute little two year old vocabulary to tell me what happened.

Her bit me! Her bit me right der on mine fingers! Her a... her a... her a BAD WORD!!He continued on for quite a while but after hearing him call the chicken "a bad word" all I could do was laugh. I think Jonah is going to keep me entertained just as much as Noah has over the years!

First Fruits
We finally have something to show for all the squawking that has been going on in our backyard. Today Noah gathered three eggs out of the chicken pen! I guess we may just have to keep those nasty birds after all.
