speaking of insects
I let a goose lay her eggs in front of the door to my woodshop, as she aint real maternal and usually abanded the nest after a few hours of setting.
She's been on the nest for 18ish days now and hisses at me and tries to bite my gouty foot when I pass.She got me twice with a nifty Linda Blairesque head swivel.I stifled the urge to strangle it.Now her baby daddy is on the nest with her,leaving me no room to get by.It is a goose gauntlet.I have outsmarted said geese by throwing a sheet on them, so I can slither by.
I have heard it takes 21ish days for the eggs to hatch.I will have a camera ready for the blessed event.
If event does not occur, I will pelt the geese with their unhatched eggs.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

You better plan on sheltering this family for the whole winter!

they are common white geese.they lay eggs from aprilish to septemberish.
they are too fat to fly.
I dont think the egg mama is turning over the eggs enough.Also, one egg is missing.I intuit it is from another goosette who snuck one of her eggs onto the pile.
The egg daddy bit me again.
I snapped his behind with a towel.
