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.
Vermont Country Store sells pure Vermont maple syrup still. I get Maine maple syrup from my son every year, he would never mix anything in. But would I trust other sources, not so much.
“I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions,” says James Michener.
Hi!
Swirl is a good word for today. Seven A.M. 48 degrees. Balmy weather. I filled the bird feeders as the wind blew in a new blizzard. By 9 A.M. the temperature had dropped by 20 degrees. There is a lot of snow in the air. It eventually drops onto the ground. The wind is from the south and cold, cold, cold.
I just write because I don't talk much. One thing I've noticed this year with all the snow and blow of air and grounded clouds. There is a red squirrel out in the midst of the worst stormy weather. He climbs up and down the tree outside my window. I know they only hibernate in the worst part of weather. This is a small red flash. I have not figured out where its hidey hole is? The blizzard has been blowing fast across the ice-covered yard for about 4 hours. I think the red-tailed critter should call it a day and tuck into his or her nest for the evening.
Something to ponder. There is only one out during the worst storms. Errand runner for the family?
