So, umm, does anyone know if oregano is a perennial? Mine is back for the 3rd year now. Last year I thought it had just re-seeded itself but looking at it today that is not the case.

It is a perennial. Origanum vulgare L. "common oregano".

Well, no snow here. But I did find a patch of ice about a foot thick in a sheltered part of the garden.

More brown is coming in my little blue/grey easter egger from the pullet bin... more redish now than brown even. I was worried, but still hopeful when the feathers starting coming in, but every day I'm more & more convinced that it's a cockerel. The feather patterning is not consistent with a pullet. So that would make TWO cockerels from Family Farm & Home's PULLET bins this year. Somebody at Townline is slacking on the job. This little guy is going to be gorgeous though! Gonna be a shame to send him to the soup pot. **sigh**

Here too.

Can you see the honey bee?

Nope I do not see it and I zoomed in 4 times! Am I blind or was that a trick?
No crocus up here yet.... but there is red swellings at the ground level poking through in the rhubarb bed.

There aren't any real standard colors/patterns for EE's to compare against are there?
I've got a couple that are suspect, figure I'd have to wait for them to crow of throw to know for sure.

I have EE of many colors, some very pretty reddish brown I don't think there is any " color" specifics .
