It has been raining for two days now and it’s
our turn to go buy eggs. We borrowed
Elder Youngberg’s truck and made our way to the “Egg Lady.” When the kids are
here on campus she comes and delivers eggs to the school cafeteria and to us,
but with no kids we have to go get them. The rain was coming in buckets and
they were still gathering eggs, so I waited in the truck while Rich stood in
the rain with an umbrella waiting. I
felt sorry for the poor chickens. They
had tried to cover their cages but they were getting soaked. The eggs are now
$.60 each or $7.20 a doz. Some are very
small and some are huge. We even had a
double yolk once.
We are grateful for
the rain since we depend on it for all of our water needs. But without sunshine our solar powered hot
water heater doesn’t work. Our water
hasn’t totally turned cold but is now barely warm. It’s been nice to have
cooler days, but I also like my warm showers.
Americans – we are never satisfied.
