Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

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.

Libraries are my favorite place to go still at 67.

In response to "LIbraries, the Never Ending Exploration"

Thank you for reading my blog. Your story is wonderful. And to think you bypassed censorship in your own home: fabulous!

In response to "Stay on Track."

I think I need to do a survey on sexuality and gender. So many people have not had interactions with the LGBTQ community. I had a friend who was an "I for intersex" and know an "A for asexual" ... Historically there was an "E for eunuch" (and I suspect that category still exists).

So much easier to just suspend the labels and call people by their name/nickname or title: Vaughn, Officer Paula, Miss Jessica, Duck, Teacher Nessy... No one needs to inspect another person's underwear.

As for 'snowed under' ... well it's spring ... this too shall melt.

Do no harm is the best way to live.

Thanks for checking in, hope things settle down soon.

I agree with you. I think it takes a lot of faith to jump horses too! It was always something that amazed me to watch.

Snickerdoodle muffins? Send one here!

Do you serve coffee? I've only had 4 cups today. I'd be grateful for another.

In response to "Just some mumbles"

I think it is more than just short supply of a virtue. I think evil is a real thing and occasionally presents its own ideas of reality. Since humans live in organic forms and have been given the ability to make choices often, we get wrapped up in our little personal worlds and don't notice evil trying to take bake what is already won. So, the battle commences again.

In response to "What will the new day bring?"

House Florent plays to win. As I age, I read a lot of history I proceed to think every age has seen its own share of violence. There are times when peace prevails. I hope a time like that is coming toward us.

Patience is a virtue that seems to be in short supply.

You're so right about evil raising it's head. If only saying calm down was enough.

I think we're in a similar age bracket and we have seen too much violence in our lifetime.

Work is Infinite

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

Get a job earn some cash. Hire someone to properly finish rooms in my house. Two years ago we (K and I put a roof on the balcony, that actually works well. Now I need to put one on the back porch. We are still capable of putting it on but, I need to find the cash to pay for the materials. I could do this work if I could find the money for materials. I'm wondering if age is interfering with my urge to work on the house or if I'm just getting lazy.

I'm still paying for the corn stove. And it works really well. We are considering a corn furnace in place of the wood furnace which is wearing out. It would be so much less work than wood and more heat. Lots to think about and changes in lifestyle mean decisions should be well thought out.

You have no idea how much I went through, when I worked in the donut shop. Someone cut my brakes at one point. Yes. Cut the brake line. It's OK I learned to drive with emergency brakes on an old old car. Lots of other evil things happen to me. To long a story to tell. I'm thinking I should write my life story, might sell. Easier than working a job outside my home.

Bought plants to grow for gardening yesterday. Also, the new Grow Box I bought arrived from www.aGardenPatch.com. I was looking forward to planting today. It rained. We need the rain to grow the hay so I won't complain. Anyway I need a day to rest and read. Rainy days were meant for just that.
