Cleaning out the incubator post-hatch and found a half hatched Black Copper Marans egg. This little one was very late, but so determined to catch up she hatched right in my hand. Back into the incubator she went, to dry off and learn to use her legs, and she is now reunited with her hatch mates.
Her life force is strong. ❤

Our hard winter has stunted the garlic, will a gentle spring soothe it back to health?
The rhubarb sprouted in January, then gave up in February. A bit of green is peeking out now, wondering if it is safe to come out yet. Who knows?
The last two days have been warm and soft rainy, March has come in like a lamb. So I’m hoping.

A guest for dinner meant the last of the apples harvested in September were unwrapped from their newspaper blankets to make a nice crisp for dessert. Sure they are a little wrinkly, but almost six months! And Royal Gala aren’t supposed to be good keepers.
