Though I now feel an urge to chuck my current reading list in favor of White's essays...but it will have to take its place in the queue. Hope you have a wonderful time in Maine!Reina M.

Perhaps they did then in urban spaces. Now one pays a premium in many places to buy brown eggs. Some even believe that brown eggs have more nutrients.
