Packaging

My kids went to the farmers market this past Thursday. While they were there, they found a person who was selling eggs from their hens. They knew how much I love eggs from chickens who are allowed to get out and roam in the pastures and eat their actual diet instead of being stuffed in boxes stacked in a building and fed solely GMO grain, so they bought me some. They sent me this picture to let me know about them.

Three eggs? That seemed strange. I've seen eggs sold by the dozen, and in a few very rare occasions by the half dozen, but never by half of half a dozen. My daughter told me that they sold them in such small amounts because they didn't have a big farm operation. Instead, these were their own personal chickens, and they were just selling the extra eggs they couldn't use themselves.

That was fine. Three eggs is better than no eggs. That was for sure. I didn't think any more about it until the next day when my wife asked me if I saw what the girls got me from the farmers market.

"The eggs? Yeah, they texted me to tell me," I responded.

"Wasn't that the cutest thing you ever saw?" she asked.

"Oh, that. Sure," I said.

No, she wasn't talking about the fact that they bought me some eggs. They've done stuff like that before. She wasn't talking about anything the girls did. She was just talking about that little three egg package. You don't really notice it when you look at it in the picture above, but if you see the egg package closed, this is what it looks like.

Yup. The three eggs come in a heart-shaped package. Isn't it just darling? Just thought I'd share.
