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.

In response to "Truly Autumn Now"

The temperatures have dropped here in Nevada too. There's a mountain we see in the distance, and it's already dressed in white. I think it's going to be an interesting winter, don't you?

In response to "Dr. Suess"

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.

books to Read

Prompt:What books have you read that you find yourself thinking about years later? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

Hi.

I read the Bible both Old and New Testaments many days a week. So, it is easy for my mind to recall passages daily.

I'm presently reading "The Universal One," by Walter Russel. I will probably be remembering it for a long time.

I often remember parts of the entire series of "The Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe." I believe it is an allegory of life on planet earth. Perhaps put on the earth to acquaint children of the hazards they would meet in everyday life. Reading the first book in the series or watching the movies made about it, should never be enough.

I think of "Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus now and then. Or "No visible Bruises" by Louise Snyder once in a while.

I have favorite authors--fiction -- Laurie King, writes about Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russel, All the Hobbit series, and I like Science Fiction about space travel.

Over the years I've read too many to name them all and anyone of them may slip into my thoughts for no imaginable reason. The Black Stallion, The Red Stallion, Little Women, Robert Frost Poems, Hiedi, Lots of others. I put them all there when I was reading, so I guess my mind will mull over them when it is not so busy with other thoughts.

Bye
