Fresh Eggs and First Tomato of the Year

We love our fresh eggs.  We have 8 laying hens that we get 5-8 eggs a day from.  As you can see most of our layers lay brown eggs.  We have 2 that lay  small white eggs.  We also have a bantam rooster and hen.  The hen laid her first egg yesterday as well.  We hope someday that we can get her to set on some eggs and hatch some chicks.

This is our first tomato of the year.  It is not real big weighing in at 6oz.  There are tomatoes twice this size in the garden that are not ripening yet.  Any tomato is better than no tomato.  We are hoping for a good harvest this year.  The tomatoes are loaded but any new blossoms are burning up in this heat.
