The Great Thanksgiving Day Easter Egg Hunt with FANG the Egg Whisper!

Ok so I know its past Thanksgiving already but we have been very very busy here at the mini farm with our Market season winding down and with our CSA gearing up!
Of course we all know that Thelma Lou likes to escape and has been left alone to do this on a daily basis. She had a nice nest under the tub and seemed to be content to lay her eggs there. 
Right before Thanksgiving we noticed that we were not getting any heat from our furnace and began the long two week process of finding out the issue. I won't bore you with the details but in the midst of all the activity around the furnace one (of many) heater repair men alerted me to the fact that I had a cat sitting on a nest of eggs. WHAT? So, off I went to investigate thinking surely he must be mistaken. I found ANOTHER nest which of course was Thelma Lou's and hiding ever so stealthily(is this a word?) was FANG the newest of our "drop off" cats. Of course with Fang being all white he was not doing such a good job of being stealthy and so he was easy to spot. The repair man assured me that Fang was indeed sitting on the nest when he discovered him. Fang..the egg whisperer continues to sit on Thelma Lou's eggs in hopes of...hatching them maybe...who knows around here!
