I heard Obama just passed a new law. If you hold an Easter egg hunt, you have to use neon colored eggs. That way, those who use Garret detectors, will find some too! :-)
Funny, that reminds me of the things our labs brought home. They were trained to retrieve with out damaging the game, so when they went out hunting themselves, they brought home to us live rabbits, squirrels and once a very unhappy chicken. The bunnies and squirrels were let go. The chicken became dinner.
We have about the same amount of standing snow as you do, even after it melts we're going to need a pick axe because the ground underneath is still frozen.
The grandkids always miss some of the change filled plastic eggs, but I don't.
I'll be looking for the sunny side of a grassy hill to search!
