If a Parsley Farmer is caught cheating on his taxes, does the IRS garnish his wage?
The girls are laying the largest eggs! I cannot even close the egg box lid for fear of breaking them. Customers ask, "what breed of checken's lay these huge eggs?" My typical answer is, "oh, they're just very happy chickens." They are in reality, red sex links, but who cares about that? They forage for bugs, worms, and greens and brows over a bag full of table scraps every morning. The black and white chicken is a feather footed barred rock. She's the house mother for the girls, I call her Sister Mary McCluck-Cluck. She seems to shuffle around on her feathered feet, as if she were wearing her habit. Sister Mary was originally a Bishop's pet, legends tell, who was stolen, crossed state lines, and finds her harbor here with us. We sell the eggs for $4.00 a dozen, and are very appreciative when our customers return empty egg boxes for reuse.

Love your post title. Thanks for your blog comments. Might have me reconsidering the spools, but I will wait and see--I always like the juxtaposition of different things, rustic with elegant, etc. Still, you gave me something to ponder, I appreciate it!
