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.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
In our house it is my bedroom. It is actually two rooms because there is an adjacent balcony. Although I sleep there I also, read there, do my studies there, practice my guitar there, and the balcony has our cat boxes, a view of the front yard and road, in the summer all my plants are there, and I use it as a place to start my garden plants. I also have a rocking chair and a lawn chair there. The balcony has lots of windows so lots of light. I can use my computer or kindle in my bedroom at any time and also view the back yard from one of the two rooms. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. Best of all its mine.
The rest of the house is also mine. However, I share the rest of the house. I do the cleaning in the rest of the house, cook the meals for two.
I pen a journal that has a lot of quotes just for women. One of the quotes says, "every woman should have a place of her own."
Keith and I have been living in the same house for over 50 years. We have always been totally incompatible. This is the way we cope. He has his own room as well. Actually, the balcony has two chairs and is positioned between both our rooms.
There are 3 rooms on the main floor. There is a kitchen, bathroom, and living room with adequate furnishings. We spend most of our days on the main floor, when not doing daily chores.
