Yes folks, it’s time once agina for the annual Vernal Egginox or to be more precise about it, yesterday was the day of the vernal equinox where the sun balances ever so precariously on the equator before crossing over to favor those of us in the northern hemisphere with some very welcome warmer weather. And this means something else as well…
Time to see how many of those raw eggs you can balance on their little pointy bottoms.
What? You can’t balance raw eggs on their pointy little bottoms, you say?
Well, normally I’d have to agree with you however, during a short period of time during the vernal equinox, you can balance those wee eggs on their posteriors just as my Lady Laurie has done for many years now. And this year she managed an even half dozen.
Of course, there’s always the poo-poo’ers who will never believe that it’s actually possible to do this but I can’t help it if they don’t get the timing just right.
Anyway, without further ado…

And so there you have it. Another Vernal Egginox and another set of eggs balanced upon their pointy little bottoms. All thanks to our local chicken farmers, my honey’s infinite patience and the consistent orbital velocity of the planet Earth.
Here’s to fine Spring and a wonderful Summer to come.
Now for an omelet.
That is cool. I will need to try this next year.
Despite what some might be saying, it does work. The secret is to keep trying during the vernal equinox and eventually you’ll hit the right time and they’ll stand tall for you. Make sure you have a solid surface to. No wiggling allowed.
It. Doesn’t. Work.
I tried for a whole half-episode of Boston Legal and no matter what, I could feel that wee yolk inside leaning to the dastardly side.
Laurie, you must have skills. I would very much like to learn these skills. Thought vibes might help, or a step-by-step email… either way I’m yours to teach
M’Lady K8,
I have passed your request to M’Lady Laurie and she will contact you forthwith. Or maybe fifthwith if she gets held up on the third ‘with’. Often happens you know.
