Our life in the foothills of Calaveras County, California. The pond is at the center of everything. In case we should forget, the bullfrogs yell it out all summer long. A noisy place, but home.
Pond!

The Rule of Three
The rule of three is a writing principle that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things.
"omne trium perfectum" (everything that comes in threes is perfect)
I found these nine eggs equally divided between three nestboxes.
Who knew that our hens were so wise and literary (not to mention mathematical)?

So interesting that each nest has a variety of colors. Guess they are good at sharing their space.
ReplyDeleteThey do like to buddy up when they lay. Sometimes there will be 6 or even 8 eggs in a nest and I have no idea how they all stuff themselves in the box. Perhaps they wait in line...
