Wonky Egg - Wonky Life



Strange but still TRUE!!! This egg this morning is anything but the normal shape - very elongated but I hope you can see the turquoise band around the back end of the egg... This must have been a strange laying but I think maybe the egg got stuck a bit on the way out and this concentration of color is proof of it.


None of the girls where walking funny this morning but again they never really complain - who am I kidding, there are some in this coop who never have a quite word, every event in their life is met with such noise and feather ruffling that you think the "Sky is Falling" and they never are happy with the amount of treats they receive or the spot on the roost they have chosen...


Remind us of anyone we know?? This day I took stock in the lesson of this egg and what those hens gave me. Yes, I too can think my world is coming to an end when too many bad things string together, or when no matter how hard I work the end result just never seems to measure up to the general standards, or how about getting stuck trying to produce something of value but very few even notice the effort but then I remember I have chosen all these things in one way or another and so I need to give thanks for those things I do, for those things that fall short of the mark and know that if I am lucky enough to get tomorrow I can give it my all and be thankful for what happens.


What is your wonky egg this week??

I don't think a week goes by when I don't have at least one "Chicken Licken" moment! But, you just take a deep breath, pull up your socks, and keep on keeping on. Who knows? Maybe Chicken Licken was just having a really BAD day!!! At least WE don't have to lay an egg every day...

You are right, we choose the life we have so we better just deal with it! LOL!! Great post!
