On the eve of the inauguration, after not laying for well over three months, Uno made her contribution to celebrate a new era: a beautiful blue egg. Despite the subzero temperatures the girls continue to thrive. I am amazed by their heartiness. After all, we humans wouldn't survive a day in weather like this. The lettuce I planted in October is still doing well under clear shower curtains. I expect to pick a few heads in the next couple of weeks. The seed catalogues have begun to arrive and anticipation is high all around for an expanded garden planting (think roof top).
