We may be apart, but
You Are Not Forgotten
These naturally colored Easter eggs are gorgeous! I bet they would be a lot better for us than the dyed Easter eggs too. I remember the brown eggs from my youth, but I don't believe I have otherwise ever seen anything other than the white eggs at the grocery store. My grandmother would gasp to see how "citified" I have become.
ReplyDeleteI am gasping, too. Just kidding. I'm guessing most people have never experienced eggs outside of the grocery aisle. I do plan to have blue and brown eggs. You can come visit. I'll even let you take a look at a chicken's earlobe. :-)
DeleteOh, yes, I do love the colorful Spring eggs from nature! When I dyed eggs for Easter with my son, I boiled the eggs in water which a variety of vegetables were tossed. Beets, spinach, carrots, and blueberries (a few eggs and one of these in the boiling pot) make pastel beauties! And even tea and coffee works well too!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a creative mama. I love that you used natural food dyes.
DeleteI had NO idea eggs came in anything except white and brown (I'm SUCH a city kid). What a fascinating article you featured about 'nature's' Easter Eggs. I look forward to seeing pictures of YOUR chicken coop and chickens this Spring.
ReplyDeleteI doubt I knew much more until beginning this quest several months ago. The eggs on the farms of my childhood were all white or brown. No fancy colors. I look forward to sharing my coop and hens as things proceed. Just wish the weather would behave. We've had so much snow this month. Makes it hard to work on outside construction projects.
DeleteI'm an old hen (excuse me, I meant old hand) at raising chickens. At one time I had 4 different breeds and 34 chickens. Yes, I even had roosters (I love the sound of crowing in the morning). You'll have a great time raising chickens.
ReplyDeleteI'll be counting on you for advice. I, too, love the sound of a rooster's crow at dawn, though I don't anticipate raising any roosters at this time.
ReplyDeleteMy dad raised chickens. I grew up eating fresh brown eggs. His hens only laid browns though, no pretty pastels. We did occasionally get a nifty extra large egg with an extra yolk.
ReplyDeleteThat would be so cool to have the surprise of a bonus yolk. Twins! I wish every child could grow up on fresh homegrown food. Thanks for your visit. Appreciated!
DeleteHaHa Coletta, you are funny! Renaissance Woman, thank you for sharing this. I want to have chickens so badly. I can't wait to look to see how in the world one would find a chicken ear.
ReplyDeleteEars to you, Dawn Rae, as you find a way to follow your dream. :-)
DeleteEarlobes...interesting! Not sure I even knew that chickens had earlobes! My eldest daughter and her husband worked a summer at an organic farm, off the grid. They had bottomless chicken coops, and moved the chickens to different pasture daily. It was interesting.
ReplyDeleteAh yes... they call those mobile coops chicken tractors. I'd have to pull up a million cacti to be able to do that here. It is a great way to move the chickens around to fresh grazing areas and to spread their fertilizer.
