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.
Those who live in the colder climates see July and August as the months to get things done before winter returns. When I lived in Maine, after the 4th July family camping trip, we harvested some of the early veggies, then canning them for later. (I made pickles with a lot of baby cukes and canned tons of green and wax beans. In the evenings we cut and stacked firewood in the woodshed.
Hope all goes smoothly for you.
Always treat an animal as if it understands your language. They understand more than people give them credit for most of the time. - Completely agree. If not the words, they understand tone and behaviour.
If it was just one day I would like to have some cash and just shop in a place that has malls and lots of stores. It's been awhile since I went to Big Lots or Ollie's. I can go on line of course, but it's a lot of fun to just troll through merchandise until I find some thing I'm looking for.
Or, another good day would be to visit someplace with walking trails and have a picnic out after the walk. Maybe the dogs could go along. They like walks. Hmm. Maybe shop, walk, and then eat.
Actually, I wouldn't mind going on a train ride either. Just ride and watch the landscape rolling by as we move along.
