Behold, The Egg

12 day old chicks, one four year old boy, five months of care and attention = the golden egg.  In the capitalist view of life, this egg (were it not followed by a multitude of others) cost several hundred dollars. I admit, this did give me pause, the bottom line dollar amount associated with this first egg from our first flock here at The Apple House -- but then I watched my four year old son pick it up as though it were the most precious and delicate thing to ever grace our lives.  There is no monetary value that could ever be applied to that moment, the awakening of that sense of wonder and connection.
