Urban Homestead Happenings...

Today I collected the first egg from one of our new little hens. :) It's a tiny little egg, but it's an egg nonetheless. :D Today we also happened upon baby praying mantis nymphs emerging from their egg case, which was nestled among the potted hen and chicks on the front porch. The daisies, roses and peonies are now in full bloom and smell so sweet. I love spring.

Yay for eggs!

They may be a little bit smaller than your average store bought eggs but they don't get any fresher than this! I still hold onto my dream that one day I will live in the country again maybe and collect a big basket of fresh eggs from all my hens, but for now I will thoroughly enjoy what I have been blessed with in this life and appreciate the daily miracles in my day to day life such as a freshly laid egg from a sweet little urban backyard hen. *smile*
