With too many eggs for our household to eat, we've developed a wonderful system to get rid of the excess. For $4 a dozen, New College Students can get fresh eggs delivered to their on-campus mail box. A few times a week, I hop on the bus with a couple cartons of blue and brown eggs.
I stick the eggs in the appropriate mailbox, and a few hours later, the eggs have been replaced with some cold hard cash. Students say they love love love the eggs, and I keep getting requests from more and more people.
What's happening now?
--- Finally settled in to our new house (mostly)
--- Taking care of all our animals! Three chickens, a rabbit, a dozen finches, and two Alaskan huskies.
--- Working on turning our dirt-yard into something respectable
Who are we?
This blog follows the adventures of Taylor and Tine as they craft, cook, and turn their house into a home.
