We believe Joe Mac has solved the egg mystery. He said they are gecko lizard eggs. They may be the same thing that I call 'newts,' but I am not sure. Whatever they are/were, there were plenty of them. Otherwise, today was a really good Sunday. I went and bought yet ANOTHER GFCI plug, and that one doesn't work either. SO, tomorrow I will put a call in to the electrician and see if we can get that mystery solved. I got the chicken coop cleaned out, and a couple other weekend things done, but generally, it was just a day of enjoying the cooler weather and taking naps. We did watch a movie after the afternoon news, and now it is time to call it a day. This is an image of the lovely evening moon out here on the Edge of Nowhere. This image does not do it justice, but I hope you can get the drift!Diffident -- Adjective. 1. hesitant in acting or speaking through lack of self-confidence. 2. reserved, unassertive. "Wilson...would explain her lack of feeling with a diffident shrug: 'I felThe Supremes, 2009
t like I'd said goodbye already.'" Mark Ribowsky,
Did You Know? Diffident and confident are antonyms, but both have a lot to do with how much trust you have in yourself-and, fittingly, both trace to the Latin verb fidere, which means "to trust." Diffident arose from a combination of fidere and the prefix dis-, meaning "the absence of," and it has been used to refer to individuals lacking in self-trust since the 15th century. Confident arose from confidere, a term created by combining fidere with the intensifying prefix con-. That term has been used for self-trusting souls since at least the late 16th century. By the way, fidere puts the trust in several other English words too, including fidelity and fiduciary.
