Don’t you just love it when you honey leaves you a love note? We don’t do that often enough. There was a time when I bought lots of cards and I’d sometimes stick a little note in Vince’s shirt pocket or Chad’s lunch box. I used to even mail cards to Vince at work but . . well, heck . . we just don’t do that kind of stuff any more. Here’s how cheap we are now . . Vince will call me to the greeting card aisle at Wal-Mart and say “Here, read this. I chose it for you (birthday, Valentine’s, whatever) but you can just read it here and I don’t have to buy it!” It doesn’t bother me. I know he loves me and for the cost of a greeting card, I can buy a fat quarter or sometimes a half yard of fabric!
Thank goodness my chickens take the time to let me know they love me!
Look at that heart on the end of the egg Ruby left me this morning. How sweet is that? Who needs a greeting card when your chickens can do this with their eggs?
I’m thinking this egg should be worth lots of money. If the image of Superman or The Virgin Mary on a screen door is worth money, don’t you think a heart on an egg should be worth enough to send my son to law school?
Lori says
What a sweet chicken to leave you a heart to remember forever.
Karen Langseth says
You know….it could be worth money but not enough to pay for law school……if I lived closer I’d buy it along with 11 of its friends!!!! I do miss fresh eggs!!!

Bessie H says
Try putting it on ebay. I’ve seen odder things bring big money.
Vicki W says
Sounds like you need to go on David Letterman with your egg!
Shelly Pagliai says
How sweet! I’d be terribly impressed if they could also print on their eggs like the ones in the store!
Pat says
I agree….gotta put it on ebay…..lots of crazy stuff has been sold there for LOTS of money!!!
Carolyn Collette says
Oh Judy, My husband does the same with the cards!! We think it is funny. A lady at the card shop gave him a few “words” the last time he did it. LOL
Elaine says
Are you sure it was Ruby? Coulda been “Smokey” ya know! He may be tryin to make up with you!
Judy L. says
Oh, don’t even try to defend that bad chicken. Smokey lays green eggs.
Jeanne Bancroft says
Think up a good story of why a heart may be on an egg, and go for it!!! If a grilled cheese sandwich can sell for thousands, heck, you could be rich in 7 days!! BTW, I just saw a record egg on tv the other day and thought about your jumbo one!! I swear yours could’ve given it a good run for the money!
Judy D says
You guys are hilarious!!! I wish we lived closer to each other–our men are so much alike. Are you going to blow out that egg and keep the “love note”???
ruth says
Yeah, you wish. On the other hand, if the chicks keep producing Love Eggs, maybe you could sell them on Etsy.
Kay Sorensen says
Hard boil it – carefully – before you put it on eBay.
pdudgeon says
LOL at ruby and her ‘love note’ to you.
that is one tallented chicken!
Linda says
Better get that egg on eBay, pronto!! LOL
Mary-Kay C. says
Nice try!
dawn says
I agree with Elaine. I think Smokey had something to do with that egg! I think she is trying to get on your good side, seeing that the Fall is arriving and nice roasted chicken on the menu………or chicken soup……….hmmmmmmmm
I would be laying heart eggs too! more than one a day if I could. LOL
Terri says
Heck if you get enough for just one semester of law school I’ll buy the chicken!! My daughter is in her first semester of law school and man are they proud of it! It’s costing her a fortune! Love the Etsy idea 🙂
