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.
Judith, Dr. Suess published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons, and he worked in the animation and film department of the United States Army. My first experience with his work was How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which was published in 1957 and my grandmother bought it to read to me.
If you could have an all-expenses paid trip to see any famous sight-seeing destination (monument, building, national park, etc), where would you choose to go?
There are lots of places I would enjoy seeing. San Antonio zoo, The cross country train ride in Canada. A tour of the highway that travels the great lakes. The Oxford Library in England is another place.
Some of these places I became interested in, because of online travels with the 30-Day Challenge in August's past. Some times I think touring the Western Coast of the USA might be interesting. Any national park would be a good time.
Then of course this time of year any place with sunshine is a thought.
One day of sunshine earlier this week.
Just found the World Hum Map online this morning. The Guardian did an article on it. Glad to know the sounds I hear are heard by other people.
