1. Our chickens have started laying. Or rather, one chicken (the big one) has started laying about one every day and a half (5 eggs in a week). This is an Ameraucana, so it lays green eggs! Not bright green, kind of brownish green, but definitely colored. The bantams haven't showed any sign of laying yet, though. We got these birds in October/November, and laying is determined at least as much by day length as by temperature/weather, so we didn't know when/if they would start laying.
2. Our address is changing, but we're not moving. Our house was built as in-fill, between numbers 112 and 114 Marblehead St, so it was numbered 112A. This "A" has been problematical: we routinely get mail for the neighbors (112), or we get things addressed to "Apartment A". The house at number 114 was vacated over a year ago, and was demolished last April. So we asked the town Assessor (who, for whatever reason, is in charge of street numbers), and our new address, effective sometime soon, will be
Thus begins the process of notifying everyone. Utilities and phone company will get a copy of the change order, so they will hopefully not try to disconnect us, and reconnect us somewhere else. Banks, credit card companies, magazines, not to mention relatives. We haven't moved in almost 14 years - I'm not used to this anymore.
