Back to the Science Center This Time to See the Pirates

I felt an overwhelming feeling of happiness, as I was making dinner one night last week, that the broccoli was from our garden, the chicken from our chickens, and there was a #10 can with 21 eggs in it from our layers. It's all coming together!
