Gary Digs
— Tales of the holes I dig, the dirt piles I make, and the holes I fill at the B-Bar-Lazy-B

“Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. {online here p.258}”
by Thomas Jefferson, 1787 letter to his nephew Peter Carr

Yippee!

I added a dynamic sidebar to the classic theme. Pretty pedestrian, but hey…ya gotta start somewhere.

If this is boring you to tears, there is more interesting stuff over at Eighth Acre Bounty, you should visit. At present this is where you will find a couple pictures of my holes and piles…

Also for today, Cleary the chicken laid an egg whilst wandering around looking for a place to lay an egg. I’m trying to figure out why she is so weird about where she lays. The trend seems to be that she wants to lay the egg in the same place that another chicken has already laid an egg (assuming the previously laid egg is still in its place). As of yesterday, Dahl’s eggs have been the target of a dining enterprise on the part of all chickens, so I’ve really been scooping them out of there fast which seems to aggravate Cleary. Blume (the little banty), lays reliably and generally without incident (although she will crowd into the nesting box with Cleary when she is trying to lay, I’ll see if I can drum up a picture of that excitement).
