First Duck egg

Yumm...  Can't remember last time we had a duck egg.

First chicken egg

Yay!  I'm excited about eggs.  Our chicken Charlie layed under a big plant pot...  I was sitting, watching the birds and I heard Charlie but couldn't see her.  Upon further investigation she was found out of the pen and trapped under a pot with her first egg of the season. 

Choke berry

After a few frosts these are quite tasty.

This Max/Min thermometer is great for measuring events like this.  The cool air last night and the frozen grass this morning are also great indicators!

Mahonia harvest

Harvested Mahonia X media 'charity' (Oregon grape).  This bountiful harvest took us less than an hour.
