Abi Surprised in the Chicken House

Abi called while I was walking on the beach this morning to report a little excitement.  She was in Pittsboro to do lawn work at the house and at the office.  While at the house she was checking on the chickens and picking up eggs.  She reached into one of the nesting boxes to grab an egg and was surprised that someone (something) was already there.  That's right!  Our friendly neighborhood black racer was enjoying brunch at the Hen House Cafe.  I bet Abi will look before she reaches next time!
