Time to Come Back

Time to get back to journaling. I've been physically down after a too long dentist visit and doing too much yard work. Now it's time for playing with fabric. Last night I pulled out a bag of Bricks & Stepping Stone blocks.I think this bag is the last of my Bricks/Stones swapped blocks.
I played with the blocks and counted almost 50. Not sure when I'll get these into a top so back they go into my block stash. Hard to put away, this baggie has some really pretty fabric combinations.

Last night while doing a quick survey of the chicken yard this caught my eye- a lone light blue egg.
Further back under the trees I found a pile of at least a dozen eggs! They did this last fall, a hidden rouge nest. Well duh, egg count was down a couple days. I should have been more vigilant.Very hard to get to, the mesquite is full of thorns plus a very mean cactus nearby. It was almost dark and shadows were long but I worked fast to get the eggs collected. Had to reach with a springy metal leaf rake (and didn't break one egg!). Poodle kids will get a big omelet for supper :)
Hope a new covered kitty box will be a solution, sat it out this morning (no takers so far). Maybe they will be enticed or go back to laying in coop nest boxes, dunno. Hard to second guess a hen !!!
