Abundant egg-dying, of course, with our abundance of eggs.

 

We got turkey poults! Four bourbon reds from our friendly chicken farmer down the road. And yes, assuming they lose their downy delicate cuteness, we are intending to eat them. If they stay this cute, maybe not.

Lamb shanks and white beans for dinner.


Enjoy the weekend, and hope for warmer days!
