Fresh Dozen

We had the most delightful surprise right after we arrived home from school this afternoon. A pick-up pulled in about 30 seconds behind us. A parent of one of LK's students hopped out with an egg carton. It was full of fresh eggs from their chickens.

When asked what he wanted for the dozen, he said nothing. What a lovely, kind thing to do!

The student had mentioned to LK a few weeks ago that they were getting chickens. LK and I have asked him about their progress since then. I had mentioned that if, at some point, they were laying more eggs than the family could eat, we would be interested in buying some.

Well, today we were brought this wonderful surprise. It was a big encouragement. And another reminder that there are some really wonderful people out here.

And, now we have a beautiful sunny afternoon ahead, and no work to do. Sounds like a good time for some hiking.
