Happy First Day of Spring! Today's the Vernal Equinox, Northern Hemispherically speaking, so naturally I can't stop thinking about this fertile season's symbols: eggs.
Bear eggs, that is.
Not the eggs of bears, which do sound like an illegal Chinese delicacy, but rare breed chicken eggs from Sawmill Farm at my beloved bear sanctuary, the Fortress of the Bear, in Sitka, Alaska.
During the fishing season, Farm and Fortress founder Les Kinnear gave me dozens of beautiful blue-green Araucana and speckled brown Rhode Island Red eggs like the ones you see above. I gave him compost and lodge leftovers. Hardly a fair exchange, I know.
