If it snows again, we are making a bonfire and getting rid of this rotten pumpkin, ‘cause the Lake is frozen (I normally toss it in the lake in the middle of the night when no-one can see me, ‘cause it AIN’T getting walked down to the dumpster where it can just disintegrate in front of everybody in the middle of the street!)

(There’s branches and sticks everywhere I’m not strong enough to carry to the dumpster anyway...MIGHT AS WELL BURN “EM IN THE YARD!)

A Brief Overview of the Geography of Ancient Greece

Where did the Ancient Hellas Live?

The Ancient Hellas lived in the area surrounding the Aegean sea and the many islands that fall around and near it. On the west was the Balkan Peninsula, the cite of modern day Greece. On the east was the coast of Anatolia, or modern day Turkey. They also lived on Crete and Cyprus, the coasts of North Africa, Southern France, around the Black sea, and in southern Italy and Sicily.

What was the land like?

Chains of mountains kept communities culturally and politically seperate, hence the rise of city-states. They ran primarily from northwest to southeast along the Balkan Peninsula. The land was rough and uneven, and only about 20-30% of the land was actually suitable for agricultural means. Some islands(Western Anatolia and Magna Graecia) and a few mainland regions(Thessaly and Messenia) had large plains that were later used for farming. The soil in Ancient Greece was poor and couldn’t support the growth of wheat, so barley took it place, despite being less palatable and less nutritionally dense. The land, overall, in Ancient Greece was so treacherous, most settlements were within 40 miles from the shore, and the people rarely traveled far from home.

What was the climate like?

The Ancient Greeks had what we call a Mediterranean climate. This means that the winters were plagued with intermittent heavy downpours and the summers were hot and dry. The annual rainfall varied so significantly that farmers worried constantly of drought or flood. The weather was generally unpredictable and they relied heavily on luck when it came to farming.

@quaility @nambroth how soon will your chickens be ready for the Nationals?

ACTUALLY many chickens are quite easy to clicker train, as as most are extremely food motivated. I’ve trained Chickadee to hop up onto my hand or arm on command, but haven’t really done much else with her yet, mostly due to a lack of time. Whenever I go out with the chickens I confess my energy is spent on snuggling and watching them be themselves. But they could absolutely be trained!
