Pullet Egg


The 6 Black Australorp Hennies used to be called the "Littles" but now appear to be full size. Some of them are sporting some pretty mature looking wattles. Yesterday, Richard discovered what seems to be a Pullet Egg in one of the nest boxes. That means they have started to lay, which seems right on schedule.

I can't help but reflect on the fact that, just like those Pullets, we 3 Humans are also relative Newbies on this Little Farm. We have grown so much in these 1st 2 1/2 years, or 3 growing Seasons. We have learned an incredible amount and our thirst for growing is seemingly unquenchable. Compared to where we were 2 years ago, the Path seems more clear and our steps are more secure.

However, I wonder if our efforts could be somewhat like the Little Pullet who has produced that Beautiful Small Egg. We really are in wonder and awe at what is happening here. Plus, our gratitude knows no bounds. Surely our efforts and our knowing are only a start for where we are going to go.
