I was looking at the daffodils I've got blooming in my garden when I saw the shell of a robin's egg laying on the ground. I looked closer and saw it was a complete, unbroken egg! I picked it up and held it while I looked to see if there was an occupied nest I could leave it in, but found none. Not wanting to put it back on the cold hard dirt, I fashioned a little nest for it from leaves and dried grass and put it back where I found it. I don't know if a robin will come to tend it, or if it already has gotten too cold to ever hatch, but I did what I could and will have to see what comes of it.
A few minutes later, I looked at my rhubarb plants, which I had divided last Fall and saw they were doing well. So well, there was some pickable rhubarb there! It was short, but a nice size, so to have a bit of it and thin out the plants, I picked what I could and cut it up to freeze.
