I'd be more impressed if you got an egg to stand up. I'm coming to Dunster's snipe hunt! Will there be wine?

They don't just DECIDE, they cite their research in disproving or proving different myths. At least they are willing to research matters -- too many people forward emails without even thinking twice about them!

Broom - yes; egg - no. Obviously my hens don't know about this! Or maybe I have to use one that's laid today!

My sisterinlaw's father showed us with an egg on point. He said it only works during the vernal equinox or the autumnal equinox. Wonder why it's working now. It's too early the vernal equinox isn't until March 20th.

If there is wine, maybe you will find those pesky snipe!
