Our girls are in high production. Everywhere one looks, they are trying to find a place to lay an egg. The ducks and geese are desperate to lay, and get rid of some of their weight and also find a place to lie safely and see them hatch into babies.
We are not as kind as we seem. We steal most all the eggs. At least if fresh and in places where there were none the day before. Since that is a clear sign that the egg is fresh.
Eggs cooked in a small size 3 Lodge skillet over very low flame, are one of the best treats of spring. They make for great breakfast, but also for realization that nature has the best of best - always in store for us. We need only pay attention and be one with nature.
Charlie made some apple juice using Belle de Boskoop apples from Saratoga Apples in Schuylerville, NY. Heavenly with a little bit of ginger and lime. I wish I could have been eaiting an egg from the geese or ducks today, and drinking that elixir of good living. But alas, I am in Napa Valley and have other joys awaiting me.

Those look great!! Have fun in the rain in Napa .. You're just over the hill from us.. I know this doesn't but last weekend was glorious

We get farm-fresh eggs from friends--there's no comparison to the store-bought ones! Every time I crack one open, I'm amazed all over again at the rich dark yellow of the yolk. Delicious! Am looking forward to someday trying a goose egg for breakfast. It's on my list. :-)

Those eggs look DIVINE! I am sitting here in a meeting in Boston drooling!

Poor you, stuck in the Napa Valley. ;-)

yes, poor me, when I am stuck in Napa Valley.
And poorer me, when eating duck and goose eggs from our farm.
Life is tough, and I am happy to sacrifice my pleasures so the rest of those I know, can have better lives.
