Finally! We have outlasted the ice and ick, (insert crossed fingers here) and emerged into the thaw zone. We are finally warm enough to have a complete melt, providing the forecast holds. (please, please let it hold!) This past week I pulled up the drive, only to promptly slide right back down, and I might add, quite a bit faster than the ride up had been, so I will be thrilled when the icy stuff is gone.
On the breakfast front, Jamie's chickens did a little laying and she did a some sharing, and we had delicious fresh eggs for breakfast today. Wow - there is just really no comparison between those yummy, rich eggs and the pale, pitiful things we get at the grocery store. Thank you, Jamie!
On the Pepper watch, today is a banner day! The Carmen's will start receiving bloom food to encourage an abundance of pepper production that would (hopefully) overwhelm Peter Piper himself! For this, I will have to wait, watch and update.
