Is it as warm there as it has been here?  We've had some low temps, and 
even snow and sleet on multiple days, but recently it has been way above 
normal in temperature.  This week, it is all fog and rain.
If it stays warm, we'll both be lucky.  I had a Australorp that was like 
your Marans...I got baby chicks at Christmas...it wasn't cold that year 
either.

The true significance of Sacajawea's involvement in the Lewis & Clark
expedition is that it was the first documented trip in history where men
asked a woman for directions and followed them, allowing them to arrive
at their destination.
