Determining the gender of various animals is not one of my strong suits. Sometimes you just can't get close enough to tell for sure! When my friend Yves called last weekend there was a word in French that I just didn't get. When I said I didn't understand, he said: "chickens". Confused again. I thought chicken was poulet, but it turns out "hens" are special...they are "poules". Now, I can be confused in two languages!
The girls have been busy, producing way more eggs than Yves can use. It was sweet of him to share. He came over earlier in the week with these beauties. Everyone raves about "fresh" eggs around here, so I felt pretty special. I shared some with Evelyn, but then noticed something interesting about these...they are white. My first Easter here I hunted and hunted for white chicken eggs to color, but ended up getting white goose eggs from one of my neighbors here in the village. Hmmm, maybe I need to make a special request to Yves to get the girls busy for the holiday. We shall see. The 2 shots below are from Easter 2007-What fun!
