Zeller Cellar Word Fun #25

It’s so hot here. I’m looking forward to cooler weather in the fall. Too bad we don’t have a bed in the cellar. If we did, I would sleep there, because it’s always cooler in the cellar. Meanwhile, let’s head down there and find something interesting. I’d like to choose this time. I’m reaching into the Famous Phrases box. Here we go. Aha! “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

This is a very wise phrase, and it has nothing to do with eggs or omelets or even breakfast. It means don’t rely on one person or one course of action to obtain your wish or your goal. If it doesn’t work out, you could risk or lose a lot. It says it’s a good idea to have more than one plan to increase your chance of success.
