[Ag-eq] new chicks

[Tracy Carcione]

Nella, you lucky duck!  Orange blossoms, and chicks, and sunshine!
We had a snowstorm last night.  It was around 3-4 inches here.  I'm starting 
some cool-weather crops in my cold frame, but I don't know if it's too cold 
for them to come up.  I just got the cold frame, so it's an experiment right 
now.  My tomato seedlings are doing well inside, though.
Outside, the daffodils have buds in the most sheltered part of the yard, and 
the pussy willow and hellibore-Lenten Rose are blooming.  But we're a long 
way from warm weather yet.
I did see a rhubarb leaf or 2 poking up, which was exciting.  I love 
rhubarb.
Tracy
