"The wildflowers are erupting in flowery celebration and if you listen you can almost hear the reveling in their colors: soft pinks coo, softer lavenders whisper, scarlets and sapphires howl happily with their bold red neighbors, yellows and azures warble a harmonious duet, burning desert orange- the fat Viking warrior in this dramatic opera-nails the climatic high note. It's sunsets and treasure chests and rainbows on the roadside. The names of the flowers spoken aloud is almost enough to put me in a trance: prairie paintbrush, Indian blanket, bluebonnet, goat-foot morning glory and golden-eye phlox."

GARDEN UPDATE
BRRRRRR! It may be sunny but it's cold! Wind advisory today and that wind cut right through you. Covered up my plants early and gave them a chance to rest from the wind.
All my lettuces and spinach are doing great outside. I cannot believe how well the rhubarb is doing and am looking forward to cooking with it.

EGG-ACTLY!
Once you have eggs, you will be enjoying all the ways you can use them! Here are some interesting facts about eggs:
- To test an egg for freshness, put it in a bowl full of water. If it sinks, it's fresh; if it stands on its nose, it is about 2-3 weeks old; if it bobs to the top, throw it out.
- Can't remember if an egg is fresh or hard-boiled? Just spin the egg. If it wobbles, it's raw. If it spins easily, it's hard-boiled.
- Eggs contain all the essential protein, minerals and vitamins, except Vitamin C.
- Egg yolks are one of the few foods that naturally contain Vitamin D.
- Eggs contain choline, which is necessary for healthy cell membranes in the body. Choline stimulates brain development and function, and helps in preserving memory.
- Eggs contain lutein which helps prevent age-related cataracts. Eggs contain more lutein than spinach and other green vegetables.
- An egg shell has as many as 17,000 pores over its surface.
- There are about 70 calories in an uncooked egg and 77 calories in a cooked egg
- In the U.S. about 280 million hens produce more than 65 billion eggs per year.
