Yesterday brought around once again the inevitable egginox or, as some refer to it, the vernal equinox. This of course meant only one thing in our household–egg standing time!

This year we (“we” meaning Laurie of course.) got 6 raw ones standing upright on their pointy little bottoms. We would have stood more but we ran out of eggs.

No sanding, no gluing, no "shopping". Just standing.

Now there are those who will tell you that you can balance eggs on their bottoms any old time of the year but take it from a couple of experts. You gotta hard boil ‘em in the upright position first if you expect to do so. Go ahead, try it yourself if you don’t believe me.

And then there are those who might say this was a fine example of “Indoor Sports for the Feeble Minded”. If you’re one of those then it’s obvious you have no idea what it’s like living in Vermont on a miserable gray (snowy!) day during Mud Season. A much better phrase for it would be “Cabin Fever”.

Anyway, here’s to Spring!
