As the new snow blew in from the ol' North, it appears to be just a delightful day for the birds outside who are eating, and scattering seed everywhere to beat the band. Hundreds of birds gathered to fight over their bird seed, and the squirrels are starting to get into the act as well. I can see the deer moving in from the now snow white meadow to make their bellies plumb from eating extra corn at the full corn cribs. I just finished supplying the cattle with their sweet hay which is placed in their feeders, and calves were sleeping away after gorging on mother's milk. Everyone is fed. Good! Feeling rather proud at fulfilling the many needs of hungry animals and birds on the farm, I ponder for a minute, thinking what can I feed us today ? Dennis reminds that he hasn't eaten since early in the morning and his stomach is growling like a lone tiger waiting for some action. Nope, can't forget Dennis....so I ran to the kitchen to see what I could scratch up. A potato left over from potato salad that had already been boiled, fresh bacon and fresh eggs. I set out to put this easier then hanging wash on the line during a breezy day recipe. Quick as winking your eye, and you have a platter of goodness right before your eyes. Which reminds me now, just where did Dennis go, oh, wait a minute....he's right here. Dennis has a *cute* habit of coming up behind and scaring me a lot. And this was gonna be one of *those* days.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
3 slices bacon
3 boiled potatoes, cubed (or canned potatoes)
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar, or whatever you have in house)

1 dash garlic powder (optional)
1 dash paprika (optional)
chopped fresh chives
chopped fresh parsley
bit of grated cheese
1 small chopped tomato
Directions:
1. In large non stick skillet, fry bacon until crisp. I prefer to fry bacon first, then break it up, or you can cut bacon into chunks, then fry. Drain bacon, leaving 1 tablespoon fat.
2. Add onion and potatoes and cook until heated through.
3. Break eggs in small bowl and whisk together.
4. Add eggs to onion, potato mixture.
5. With a rubber spatula, gently combining ingredients. until eggs set. Add cheese and bacon and continue heating until melted.
