It was cloudy most of the day, but we got no new snow so far. I pruned rose bushes and we had 16 eggs today. I'm now attempting to sprout hot peppers an tomatoes. I also cleaned out the s tove and pipes and checked the chimney. All had the usual thin, dark, sticky drposit which I scraped off where possible such as in the stove pipes.
