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. |
Which kinds of relationships --family, friendship, love/romance, etc.-- lift you up and not drag you down? What does this depend on, the people, the circumstances, or you yourself?  I have some family I see once in a while that are good to be with and some friendships (online) that I can count on. Lifting up usually depends on myself and my attitude. If I meet up with a circumstance that is not to my liking, I tell the Lord. And I try to stay in my own skin if others are trying to get me to live their way. My way isn't bad. Around here it is sometimes different from local customs. I believe no one is old, everyone is aging. Not everyone is senile.  This is kind of general, hope it meets the criteria of an answer? ![Merit Badge in Friendship

| Day 3730: May 8, 2023 Prompt: “To feed your Muse, then, you should always have been hungry about life since you were a child. If not, it is a little late to start.” Ray Bradbury  How do you feed your muse? I learn something new every day or at least every week, reading poetry actually causes me to think a lot, so I read poems, or novels, or news articles or whatever is at hand. Prompts on  also feed my muse because the muse likes to find ideas to write about. If I answer prompts for some reason, it triggers other ideas to write about later. Chocolate helps too.. |

And it's a good thing too. The day I went looking for the band of monkeys that attended the Halloween party at Andre's banana bar the basement guy showed me how to get to Monkey land from the basement. It isn't easy to find the door. I've been reading books so I'm late to the May party. I went down to the basement to talk to the guy down there. Today he showed me a YouTube about how to make banana wine at home. I like wine. This sounds like a fun thing to do. Plus, the advertisement on the YouTube video is about solar generators from 4patriots. You might need one sometime if the electricity goes down. Think smart--no electricity--banana wine--lots of books on kindle--and a solar generator for lights and keep the kindle going. The basement guy set up a plush easy rocking chair and a lamp in a corner of the basement. So, now I'll do some reading down there sometimes. It can get kind of scary though. I was reading along one day and an orangutang moseyed over and pointed at my book. I had to share a glass of the banana wine with him while I read my book out loud. I guess he liked the whole scene though, so he went back out the monkey door yawning. I guess he needed a nap. all word count on WDC: 245 |
