Three Score and Ten the Introduction, Well here we go, After 50 years I am going to take another attempt at writing. The first time was the Palmer writers correspondence school in 1969. The writing will be not a book that will be written with the idea of being published, But will be a writing of thoughts unencumbered by possible publishing and monetary gain. This writing will be a hybrid of Journal and Reminisce. It is important to me that the writings are my true thoughts at the time, not influenced by any factor. The writing will try to explain how a 70 year old white, male USA citizen now relates to today's world. Is every oldest generation lost in their own world, that they aged into? What do I see, and feel as I age farther. I know I am not normal as in what this world today would consider normal. But I hope I am in the ball park writing the thoughts of a 70 year old. I hope for you to learn to know who I am, As I search for Who I am at 70+ This work will carry on until I am no longer able to think or write. This will be done on a nearly daily writing interwoven with a life's reminiscing. This writing has been in the planning for 10 plus years. and I have now made it to this starting point. This writing is dedicated to My Wife The Kitten, My family, My grand children, Lukas, Levi, Luis, Lydia and Sonora Pearl. I thank you God that you have allowed me to have your Three Score and Ten Time. |
| I got back from the Northwoods yesterday afternoon. I had planned to write so I checked in but was too tired and agitated to write. Today I still feel agitated. I have no good reason to be agitated. but I do need down time alone to put my mind in order, To sort things out. Today is Sabbath and I feel short changed. We cannot attend church without a nose and mouth face cover, Governor and County orders. I cannot tolerate having my nose covered that long. So I say home and listen to the last service on "You Tube". I do not always agree with all that spoken at church , but I am missing the attendance. Having communion with Christ is always a High event for me, I miss it. Luna is on my lap and is insisting on attention. He will have to leave as we are getting ready to eat dinner. No cats allowed at dinner time, Only a begging dog. We eat one major meal a day. We shoot for 3-4 o'clock. With all of our eating ideally between 10-4. It does not always work out that way but that is where we aim to be. Sometimes I need a little something in the evening. We seem to feel better doing a intermittent Fast. It works for us. We made some real progress at the North Woods compound this last visit. We got the front deck repainted, Wood Cut, Wood split and stacked. I got the garden plowed this year before it got to wet, which is normal. And It rained a day while we were there. My brother stopped on his way going fishing while I was plowing. I was hoping to go fishing when I finished, But it was pouring rain by then. My brother must have gotten soaked, I'll find out when we go back up. Earlier today I wrote within comments what I especially like about fall. In this writing I want to discuss what I do not like about fall. In the fall before it gets too wet I have to turn the compost pile for the next year. It reminds me of a job as a youngster we had to do once or twice a year. We always had a place behind the chicken and hog house where garbage was thrown out, all kinds of garbage from a family of ten. Once or twice a year it had to be picked up, Or dug up and loaded on a trailer. It was then hauled across the field to our private little land fill. Turning the vegetative compost pile reminds me of that job. Now don't misunderstand me, turning the compote pile is a very important job. It mixes and aerates the compost letting it become gold for the garden soil. We have a passive compote pile. Just put green and dried vegetation on a pile, add too it through the year, turn it once in the fall, In the second season you have life giving compost. The process of composting is God's original system of recycling and sustainability. The vegetative compost system is vital for life on earth. Just think what the results could be if nothing rotted or decayed. But I still put off turning the pile, But I do it. |
