Spring is officially on its way. We have a turkey egg. Fresh laid Wednesday by Ginny the 1 year old turkey hen. If you're wondering why its in an egg carton in the house, and not out in her nest . . . turkeys will start laying eggs several days and/or weeks before they will end up sitting on them. In the mean time, we will probably have some below freezing temperatures. Frozen egg equals dead egg. So we bring them inside, and replace them with plastic eggs filled with sand until it either warms up or she starts sitting on them.
Otherwise, it's trying really hard to look like a warm early spring day outside. Trying is the key word there though. It might get to be 40 today if we're lucky, but the wind is strong enough it seems to negate the sunshine effect.
