July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
What is always sure to get your excited? What makes you irrationally happy?   For me irrational happiness is a spur of the moment thing. A feeling that surprises me with it strength, when I did not expect it. I have had so many unexpected bad things happen to me in life, that very little surprises me on a daily basis. I've always lacked a great deal of emotion in any situation. However, just yesterday, I looked internally at an emotion I was experiencing and I said wow I am really happy about this. I had to take the new dog to the vet for check up and vaccines a month ago. I thought it would be a simple one visit situation. Not so. They were out of chips and one of the vaccines needed a second dose in 4 weeks. So, yesterday I took my rescue dog back to the veterinarian. The chip is good because it provides a way of identification through out the USA should your dog become lost or stolen. I was informed that my 2 year old rescue dog already had a chip which would mean he was possibly strayed or stolen from another home. So, we had to do a quick trace on the chip which proved to be unregistered to anyone. and, upon talking to the people who were fostering the dog we became aware that the dog is truly a rescue from an impossible situation. Also, I was able to register the chip to me. Once the chip was registered we had to make a quick unscheduled trip to the county seat to get a lifetime license which can only be acquired if you dog is chipped. Now the dog is truly mine. HE is about 2 years old. His training is progressing very quickly because he is smart. I discovered he has been in several foster homes and he does not want to get in the car for fear he will not return home with me. This dog has just fit into our home as if he has always been here. My older dog has become his very good friend and the cats play and cuddle with him. So, at the end of the day I found myself experiencing an extreme excitement that everything is now settled. Drifter is a permanent member of our family. It's like birthday party.  If you were given five million dollars to open a museum, what kind of museum would you create? This is a real curious prompt. Requiring deep thought. Probably a book museum. It would have different displays of ancient writings and even modern writings. It would explain what makes books important. It would display many different types of literature and explain dates they were born, (if writings have birth). The history of authors would also be delved into. It could get quite extensive if you think about this kind of museum. I'll have to think on this for awhile. Red winged black birds come every day and empty my feeders. Hope warmer weather returns again soon. Suppose to be here again Monday and stay all week. Think good thoughts. |
