Sun!

It's a gorgeous sunny day here in northern California, a change from days of rain (with more on the way later this week).  The town has a bustle to it as locals and tourists shop for Christmas.

I baked chocolate chip cookies yesterday afternoon and cooked up a batch of tapioca pudding - neither of which had anything to do with holidays but simply was a way to use eggs! The hens are producing three or four each day now, so the four I used yesterday just broke us even.  I was told they would produce less with fewer hours of light, but I guess they didn't receive that memo. The score, in fact is 23-14 -- the hens produced 23 eggs this week and there are still 14 in the 'fridge.  Hens win!
