Risky Resourcefulness

If the hens are suddenly, inexplicably laying very well

 for such a cold, cloudy winter day

 and you don't bring a basket outside to gather eggs with

 and your hands are full...

You can always do this:

And pray you don't have an accident

 or meet a mischievous sibling

 on the way in from the henhouse.

(Can you see them?  One egg in each back pocket.  Brave girl.)
