unnatural color.....

ok, so.....i stopped into tuesday morning on my way home from my (last) frankfort training.....and lucked into a precious necklace...greenish taupe beads that may or may not be stone....maybe heavy glass..cannot tell from the color whether this is real or pretend.....with matching earrings.....marked in european pricing- both euros and pounds.....the necklace was 39 euros and the earrings 29 euros....and i bought each for $7.99....you do the math.......gentle readers.....i do not, as a rule, covet jewelry...i have my pearls, and i have my amber necklace....and a faux gold chain necklace i bought for $1 at a goodwill......and if those pieces don't do justice to the outfit then i don't wear jewelry.....my youngest is feeding cattle and horses on a friend's farm this weekend.....and so i dutifully drove her over there last evening.....i enjoy these occasions because i get to look for eggs...the chicken section of their barn reminds me so of my dad's mother.....the smell and general look of chickens roosting on nesting boxes.....i ended up finding 4 eggs....3 in far-flung corners of the barn where hay had spilled....and so this morning, before we drive back over there i treated myself to a small pan of fried potatoes and a fresh scrambled egg.....for those who are not so lucky as to have day-old eggs....the yolks are unnaturally yellow.....a version of neon....quite disturbing to the senses at this hour of the day.... except that the yellow IS natural for really fresh eggs.....and for the next few days i will enjoy every bite of my vivid scramblers.....
