To the victor goes the spoils

 

 

 

Nova spent Saturday night at a friend's house, so her sister Maya and Nica had a no competition egg hunt in the orchard on Easter morning. 

 

Aw. The bunny also left something for a (mostly) good dog.

 

In other egg news, look at these beauties laid last week by Amanda's hens. Her eggs have always been good, but these are exceptional. Now the chickens have the run of the orchard with a natural diet of bugs and grass, making those beautiful yolks and nutrient-dense eggs.  

"Researchers found that pasture-raised eggs contain twice as much omega-3 fat, three times more vitamin D, four times more vitamin E and seven times more beta-carotene than eggs from hens raised on traditional feed." 

(Thank you, smarty pants AI.)  

The sun is shining and the weather is sweet. It's a rare treat in Seattle when Easter is a beautiful sunny day from start to finish. We had a quiet but nice holiday. I made roast lamb, which is getting to be another once-a year-treat. But there's plenty left for dinner tonight and then lamb curry later. Not a scrap will go to waste, that's for sure.
