David's latest knife

 Look at all the color!

It's autumn

And the chickens have stopped laying.  Which they've never done (stopped laying).  I've heard that chickens' egg laying slacks off when it gets cold, since that process is affected by the light, which in winter, there's less of.  But (ahem) MY chickens have NEVER stopped laying when it gets cold.  Or slowed down.  They just churn on ahead, ovulating at a steady pace.  So, why in the world have we gone down from getting 10 eggs a day to maybe one egg a day?  Is something eating them?  Are the chickens laying somewhere else, randomly?  I've looked everywhere.  And I don't have time for these chicken shenanigans.  So, hopefully things will right themselves without my having to figure anything out.  'Cause I can't figure it out.

We'd been selling our eggs at Daily Grocery, but now, clearly, that's had to stop.

So here are some pictures of the fall here at the Van Wyk house, sans eggs.
