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. |
Prompt word to use: Peacock feathers, forest, dinner, bridge, and rope.   A part of my pet family includes a Cockatoo: Although peacock feathers are beautiful I don't have any. Cockatoo feathers help bridge the gap between forest birds and caged birds. Cockatoos shed feathers regularly by the day or week. They have a special powder on them that stops vermin from attacking the bird. I put my cockatoo's shed feathers outside, which the wild birds incorporate into their nests. There is a rope in my bird's cage which it uses to ring a bell to get my attention. Now it is dinner time. Hope your day is just right. Bye. |
 Laundry: Prompt: What do you think about doing laundry in general? Did you have any unusual experiences with it? And what do you think the idiom "airing one's dirty laundry" came from? In general, doing laundry is not difficult in the present century. I'm using Earth Breeze. I like the way it cleans our clothes. It's also helping alleviate the recycle problem. I'm happy to recommend it to others. I looked up "airing the dirty laundry," It is a French proverb used by Napoleon when he returned from exile in Elba in 1815. It was normal at the time to hang out laundry to dry in the fresh air and sunshine. Hanging out dirty laundry would not have been a normal situation. The use means to tell things that are personal secrets which should probably be kept private. In todays' world. Often people don't want to be drawn into controversy's which are alive in other people's families. Nevertheless, sometimes secrets should be revealed in order to stop abusive actions from one person to another. I think it is a good thing that organizations have sprung up to give women and children shelter when it is needed. If someone in a family is revealing secrets, it is necessary to get both sides of a story. Unless you are willing to do face to face confrontations that is not an easy thing to do. Good judgment is a cultivated crop. |
