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 "Fighting for Spring to come in"

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!

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.

Soundwaves

Let's talk about memorable experiences in your life.

Quote by Mary Dixon Thayer 20-th century writer "Always there remains portions of our heart into which no one is able to enter. Invite them as we may."

Hi. I thought I had done this. Talked about my life I mean.

Here is a new one to laugh about. I think it was 4th grade. The school nurser set up tent like apparatus in the hall outside our classroom. It turned out she was testing each students hearing. After she tested me she sent a note home with my dad. Next day dad showed up. She put me in the tent again with the buzzer and tested me with dad watching. The jist of this was, she was proving I can hear sounds above what most people expect to hear.

Now, I can often hear sounds of people who pray the rosary. Not necessarily able to identify the subject, about which they are praying, but the rhythm of sound waves as they move. Especially if more than one prays in sinc with each other. There is a rosary society in a town not to far away.

Grandma use to say itchy ears mean someone is talking about you.

Tinnitus is another way of catching sounds with your brain that you cannot necessarily identify. I've never studied sound in a very serious way. I have a belief not necessarily founded on anything I can show you. I believe each person can be identified by sounds or the waves in the air that sound makes.

How about this interesting thought? Can we be identified by Enoch as he lists us in his heavenly book by the sounds linked to our DNA?

Always Sober

Prompt: We're seeing more DUI (driving under the influence) related deaths. Do you feel the consequences are high enough or should they make them more severe? I know we all live in different areas, is it just in the states or is it problem where you live as well?

HI!

I think it must be a problem all over the USA.
After the military started attacking drug carrying ships from South America I just kind of assumed it is an effort to stop the flow of drugs into our country because the public seems to be at a loss to stop it by themselves, within the states.

I'm kind of out of touch with how many accidents are in the area. We don't subscribe to news papers or even keep up to date with local news on TV. Although I have Facebook alerts for several nearby communities. Not too many accidents show up on those alerts. And when they do, the cause of the accident may not be listed or even the state of drivers and passengers may not be listed.

Reading " Slanted" an expose by Sharyl Attkinson, about the media. It tells a lot about how the public is missing the valuable contexts of news that use to be available to the public.

When I can't get here often I miss WDC news.

Spring is on its way.

remember this?

Prompt: “Do you remember? Prompt: “Do you remember?

Hi!

Do you remember Underwood Typewriters? How about hay rakes that had a rider and a dump lever? Pulled by a team of horses then refurbished to use with a tractor. Do you remember loose haystacks in the barn, then square bales, now round bales. How about congressional hearings about Dentists during Mr. Reagans presidency? Is this one accurate?

The snow melted some Tuesday this week and then froze to ice yesterday. Not as bad as the year the whole front yard was ice and my boys ice skated on the front yard. Not sure what year that was?

Olympics are interesting yesterday. 11 USA medals. I don't think I watched them in the last 4 years. The pipe has grown to 22 feet high. I still think luge sled hill would be fun to ride down.

Keep warm.

chocolate tea?

Hot chocolate is like a hug from the inside.”
Do you like hot chocolate, and what are your most favored hot drinks?

Hi.

Yes. I like Hot Chocolate. I have been drinking more of it this winter. I cannot drink it often. It leaves a heavy feeling inside me, that I don't appreciate. I put a day or two between cups. I think the chocolate and warmth is good for my energy levels.

I actually like warm water when I'm eating a meal or trying to keep warm. I discovered warm water is just as good as tea one day, when I ran out of tea.

I do like Oat stem tea as a tisane with lemon mint tea. I also like tea with strawberries dropped in it. Or blueberries. Oat stem tea is my regular go to drink whenever I need a pick me up. It is a mild flavored tea that mixes well with any kind of fruit. When I was a child helping dad in the hay field he taught me to chew on sticks of ripe green orchard grass to keep thirst away. Oat stem tea is similar in flavor to ripe orchard grass stems.

Yep, I'm a farm girl. Stay warm.
