Good to read posts from so many longtime Rainbow sailors.

Janie, one wee banty hen has just gone into her broody trance, so I've given her 4 little eggs to hatch. We've been clearing estates and planting replacement trees in the orchard- we lost two family members and many fruit trees this winter.

Wendy- The letters are treasures far beyond the intense family connections. Thank you.
