1. And what lovely babies they are.

I was raised out in the country and we had a Buff Orpington hen. She only laid every other day, but most of her eggs were double yolked. She had quite a personality, to boot.

I'm a little north of you, but we have also had a mild winter. I have petunias in containers that overwintered outside, which has never happened before. My daffodils are in full bloom and the forsythia has bloomed a full 3 weeks earlier than last year. I'll join you in wishing we don't have a summer like last year.
