~frost on the leaf pile~

It was 25 degrees here when we woke up this morning...brrrrr!

Heritage Farm Fresh Egg vs. Store Bought Egg :-)

Mr. H. wanted to do a blind taste test!

I gave him a bite of the fresh egg first, 

then I gave him a bite of the grocery store egg.

The result?

He said the first bite he had was richer and had more flavor.

:-)

The temperature has been falling steadily since we got up this morning.  I figured it'd be a good day to have some roll dough rising by the fireplace, and try out the Pioneer Woman's Buttered Rosemary Rolls with supper.

Announcing...

The first egg!!!

Found in the far right nesting box on January 20, 2011.

So exciting!

Mrs. Meyer's Clean Home

I have enjoyed using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day products around the house from time to time.

They're a homemaking treat. :-) 

When I saw this book at the library I brought it home to thumb through, 

thinking it was just another housekeeping book to peruse,

but I am really enjoying it!  And probably going to read it from cover to cover. 

from the back cover-

"Ever since my daughter Monica started Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day, people are always asking, "Is Mrs. Meyer a real person?"  Well I'm here to confirm it once and for all.  I raised nine kids and kept the house tidy for more than fifty years, so I know a thing or two about cleaning.  Grab your duster and follow me - we've got some work to do!"
