I've decided to add a new "genre" to my blog: urban homestead hints. This is where I'll post little nuggets of trivial information [which may or may not be helpful to the average gardener].
They may be wise. They may be wacky. They may even be worthless. Here we go!
Homestead Hint #1: Proper Egg-Collecting Attire
When collecting farm-fresh eggs, no matter the time of day, it's often advisable to wear specially selected clothing. Feel free to forego the muck boots.
In fact, on Easter Sunday I found myself giggling at the paradox of me, in my knee-skimming dress and gold Franco Sarto platform heels, tip-toeing through the [chicken poop-smattered] yard to gather eggs.
Do other urban farm girls struggle with this issue?
Can farm work and fashion coexist? Hmm......
On the other hand, Mason would advise you that it's best to hit the dress-up basket prior to venturing out to the chicken coop. After all, a felt moustache and vintage cowboy hat definitely lend credibility--and flair--to the urban homesteading scene!
So next time you go to gather eggs (or come to visit mine)... don a little something special! The chickens--and you--will be happy you did!
