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.

The day 4118 is how many days that Blogging Circle of Friends has been active on WDC. We count it daily.

I can relate to the worry of falling, I took a nasty fall on Saturday. I have so many bruises in varying shades of purple and blue and yellowish green. We need bubble wrap clothing.

Thank you for the gps.

I don't think anyone is ready for the hardships involved in a war especially here in the states, we haven't had that kind of situation since the Civil War but we may be facing it if Russia or N. Korea gets involved.

In response to "What is resolved?"

Last year, I decided to skip making resolutions. Since my resolution was the perennial favorite "lose weight," I decided to simply do it. When I saw the doctor in September, she said I lost fourteen pounds in a year. So, who needs resolutions? Don't make yourself promises—just live and move forward.

In response to "Soundwaves"

My physical for work involved a hearing test every year. Even inside a sound proof booth, I could still hear the phone ringing at the front desk, even the toilet flushing. It used to frustrate him that my hearing was so acute. I still have amazing hearing.

I think it would be cool to be identified by sound waves.

In response to "remember this?"

I'll join you on the luge, it looks like it would be so much fun.

I remember loose piles of hay and using a pitchfork to feed the cows. I didn't like stacking the square bales. The round ones look difficult to move to me.

In response to "chocolate tea?"

In Thailand, coffee is often served with tea or hot water.

I remember chewing on stems from my child... haven't thought about that in a while!

In response to "Brrr!"

My water used to freeze quite often when I lived in Maine. I used to curl up with a book while the wood stove did its thing warming us up and thawing the water lines.

Fighting for Spring to come in

It seems like a good idea, but then--

Hi! "Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you." by Walt Whitman.

Going for a walk outside today is a continuation of the prompt. The sun is shining brightly after a snowstorm, that put down a foot of snow overnight.
Now the grass in the yard is appearing because the sun is melting all the white fluff.

Going for a walk, but then, still to much snow. I would not be able to see footing well enough to feel safe.

One day a week ago. I took one of the dogs for a walk on a day like this. Stepped down into an unexpected slump in the ground and fell flat face down. A very slippery fall. Too soft and wet to get hurt. Just a Yuk experience.

Drifter, on a long leash, turned and looked at me, when I rolled over to look up at the sky. He came over beside me and sat down as if to say. I'll just wait here until you decide to get up.

I got on my feet and we walked on around a grove of trees and up around the barn. Every time /the snow melts off I hope we have had the last snowstorm of the year. Of course, it is only the middle of March. Not really surprising the weather blows up another storm.

Keep warm. Summer birds at the feeders.
