Happy egg hunt.... > Mist is not currently in season. See under "Keats." Ours is a climate somewhat like Britain, but with more sunshine in the summer and a deal less humidity. Don't tell people, or they'll all want to come. As for law, hereabouts it's municipal, schmoo-nicipal as far as I'm concerned. We live in a close-in area governed by county regulations and county sheriffs. No roosters allowed, but chickens are fine. Probably elephants too, but the zoo's only a few minutes away.
