The little one and i got up extra early Saturday morning and found a nest full of eggs. The chickens appear to have spring fever. So we got busy and made this for breakfast while mama got some beauty sleep. Elisabeth is a master egg beater and does a good job with toast too. We welcomed Erin, who was looking extra beautiful, with coffee and cheers and enjoyed a long happy morning,
