Salesgirl

A couple weeks ago we had a few dozen backed up in our fridge. For some reason, our normal customers didn't buy their normal amount. Well, Kenzie decided to take her eggs on the road, hawking her wares, door to door, through the neighborhood. She had no luck that day, only selling some eggs to one of our usual customers.

Undeterred, she tried again yesterday. Our hens must be in full summer-production mode because we again had eggs to spare. This time she hit some of the same houses (I told her skip the houses from the last attempt where she received a less than welcome reception). She not only had greater success in her sales business (3.5 dozen sold), but she also found three new friends who have moved in, temporarily (they're only here until they sell their house and move away), down the street.

It's nice to see her efforts rewarded.





And, here's her card:






UPDATE: Kenzie and her new friends sold the rest of the eggs today (she even had to dig into our personal supply), to several new customers (a total of 8 dozen in two days). There's another dozen on order for tomorrow so the chickens need to get a-layin'. One of her new friends is holding a dozen for her neighbor and will get Kenzie the money this afternoon. I guess that means that Kenzie now has her first "employee". Look out world, there is no stopping this girl!
