Hens don't want to leave the house (nor do I) and we must break the ice on their water bowl every morning. But finally, the first egg since early November.
*Gilbert White's entry January 13th 1776
Poultry do not stir-out of the hen-houses: they are amazed, & confounded in snow, & would soon perish.

I'm knitting my brows instead.
