Yesterday was a celebration of eggs, chickens and spring at our local farmers market. Kudos to the promoters for getting the people out on a chilly March morning to view the chickens, dye and buy eggs, and patronize local farmers and craftspeople. I myself came away with a dozen farm-fresh eggs, an artisanal baguette (which has now been fully devoured), a bag of braising greens and a jar of lime curd.
My son got his first look at an actual chicken. This drove him to madness, as he ran around like the proverbial just-executed chicken, shouting “bowk bowk.” What a discovery: The pictures in the books are real! Just wait till he goes to the zoo next month and gets to see a real live elephant. I expect he’ll faint or poop his pants (or both).
