Hello, Nael_C! Nice start to your day! Made a lab appointment. Put away spices and removed potato peelings from the sink. Made bed and had meds. ![::kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl.gif) Clean up the kitchen mess. Email daughter.

Good morning goldenthreads! ta-da: Planted some herbs near the chicken coop. The goal is that the chickens will be able to eat a few leaves without destroying the whole plant. Planted the peppers and one perennial. Saw that a chicken laid an egg in the middle of the chicken run! What is with that? I used a long stick to pull the egg toward the fence so I could grab it. Managed to crack the egg in the process, brought it in and made a veggie omelet. to-do I'm going to work inside for a few hours and then go back to do outside work later this afternoon. Meal prep for tomorrow's work meal/snacks

Hi, Ally! Wouldn't it be fun if your herbal plantings resulted in, say, basil-flavored eggs?! ![lol](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/70gKR226h9rBn4CaD0Tc.gif) The only difference I've ever noticed between supermarket and homegrown eggs is that the yolks have a richer flavor, not that they're actually flavored in the way that what a cow eats affects her milk. Bleached surfaces and finished dealing with the rest of last night's cooking detritus. Washed some of the dishes. There are many more to go. Got dressed in gym clothes. ![::kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl.gif) Email daughter. Go to gym for new class. Get blood drawn. PUPA.

goldenthreads, The egg yolks get a deeper oranger color when the hens have a diet rich in carotenoids and other plant derived substances. In the fall I feed them pumpkins and squash. They will kill any plant that they have total access to, but these they will only be able to reach these herbs by sticking their head through the fence. I think that the eggs taste better too. ta-da: Loaded and started the dishwasher, Did some food prep and had a snack. Cleared the area between the dining room table and the east window, swept and then put the tote of batting and some fabric there along with the sewing machines. (Yes plural. I need to get rid of at least one of them!) Cleared most of the stuff from the dining room table. (I could put the rest into a box or bin to sort later... is that cheating?) to-do Shower and get ready for bed (later) Empty the dishwasher (later) Maybe move a few houseplants outside? This has been on my list for a while, but hasn't been done yet

Went to gym for new class. Felt stronger and straighter afterward. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/GuBQQkiwyXxnHbJKesLq.gif) Got a nice print-out of classes offered--much more readable than their online schedule. Get blood drawn. Forgot to have lab order with me. Rescheduled for tomorrow. I could have returned, but the waiting room was quite full. Put lab order in purse. Took out trash. ![::kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl::](http://storage.proboards.com/1879832/images/kqYoGoPUwfTibuMR0Mpl.gif) Email daughter. PUPA. Put away dishes. Wash some more dishes.

ClimbingPyramids - Did a quick google search and it looks like big box stores such as Target and Walmart have a recycling program for car seats, etc. Not sure how current the info is but just by googling - I see that some local organizations also take them and break them down properly. Might be worth a 10 minute search to see your local options. Good luck!!
