Sharing with you about Australia and free range eggs.

       Good morning, and it is a good morning.  Temperature at 8:30 AM is at 30 F(-1C) High today of hold on to this 41F(5C) sun, blue clear sky.  It is going to be a great day.  Enjoy it here in Iowa.  Because on Sunday through Tuesday very cold arctic air.  One of those nights it will be -12F ( -24C)      I don’t think our Australia friends and family ever have that cold of night.  Maybe in the mountains during their winter.  NOT now because they are in their summer. Stay warm, enjoy Friday, stay safe
Australia weather for Jan 18, 2025, 78F(26C) with 79% humidity stay cool, stay safe.

I get comments on how they like it when I talked about Australia so today, I am going to talk about chickens. They too have the bird flu.  In Sale, where Evelyn and Tom live there are two major grocery stores, and you can pick up eggs.  But when we were there and still are having a shortage of eggs because of the bird flu.

What you see in the pictures is where Evelyn gets her eggs.  They are free range chickens, and the owners (the farmer) have this building by the road that you get the eggs and pay on the honor system.  Evelyn couldn’t get a picture of the chickens, but they were down the lane on the farm.  You will find this interesting what Eveyln wrote about the chickens. Evelyn wrote, “I don't have a photo of where the chickens lay their eggs, just the building we went to buy the eggs. The laying huts are out in the paddock and can't see them from the car park.”
The cost of a dozen of eggs from the farm of the free ranged chickens are $7.00 Australian dollar so converting to US money that is equal to $4.69.  We found that our food prices are getting more like worldwide prices. Again, I am going to say for us here in Iowa enjoy this lovely weather.
