Who knew eggs could be so tempting....

I went to the farm a few days ago and came back with a couple dozen eggs.  

Samster was excited by the farm dog, and stimulated by the chickens but more than anything, he was positively mezzmerized by the eggs.

Lovely brown ovals, smelling sweetly of chicken and yolk and straw...and whatever else is in that straw.

Simple brown eggs in recycled cartons. Who knew they could be such an adventure?

Eggs by Lamplight

I took them home and put them in a beautiful bowl placed right by the soft lamplight underneath a window.  And there they sat, still fresh and bearing the interesting smell of the farm...

Temptation

 ....so seductive in the lamplight.  Now if only that guardian Rooster could be distracted. 

Samster and the Rooster

But wait!  Could it be?  Yes! The rooster has moved, and the eggs appear to be unguarded.

Samster can hardly believe his good fortune.

Not one to waste such a precious  opportunity....he moves in for the steal....

...and gets the pick of the litter...er, the dozen.

And one stashed for a later midnight snack.

But too much sneaking around makes a fellow tired.  So now, it's time for a little nap.  Move along folks.  Nothing to see here.

And so ends Samsters little adventure.  Shhhhhh. Let him sleep while I retrieve that stashed egg from behind the cushion.

Until next time, have wonderful adventures with the ones you love, and 

Be well,
