Dissension in the Chicken House

Yesterday was my first full day as the keeper of the chickens and I did not get any eggs this morning. This is unusual; typically Viola gets 2 to 6 eggs. There was a major fight between the young cock and one of the chickens when I let them out. Maybe they sense my insecurity????
I am really hoping for eggs tomorrow!!

It started out as a beautiful day. I spent as much time as possible looking at the panoramic view of Tuscany until the rains late in the afternoon. We have been baking in preparation for three markets. It will be a busy weekend and off I go to the next farm on Monday.

Actually I am looking forward to the next farm. I had thought that I would be aprehensive to go, but I am ready for a new adventure. I just hope the next farm is as wonderful as Le Lapole. I have been planning my route because I will need to take bus/train/bus/bus to get to Grottaminarda. Again the place I am going is hard to pronounce. It makes traveling much more difficult. At least they will not think I am going to Paris with my pronunciation of Pari.

Not much more to report. Hoping for sunshine over the weekend so we can sell lots of Pane and Dolce.

Ciao for Now
