My piano student, Kelsie, has chickens! She got six for her birthday last October. I told her when they start laying, I will be her first customer. Today she brought me this tiny basket with the second egg her chickens laid (of course she kept the first). How sweet is that?

I have a reputation in my family for wanting chickens, but my daughter laughs at me and my husband says, "Absolutely NOT." Anyway, we live in the suburbs with close neighbors. But SOMEDAY, maybe I'll have chickens.
