Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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 "Favorites"

It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.

In response to " Dependency"

my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.

I agree with you. I love changing it up every now and again.

In response to "Thankful Memories"

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. Book festival here in Malaysia... and rain. Enjoy the snow if it comes your way.

Best Thanksgiving ever for me? Sardines and crackers.

In response to "Mentors are helpful"

I'm sure you were a great mom, even though you were young. You strike me as a highly caring and responsible person.

It's never too late to share the story with your children even if they're adults.

300 word per day?

I resolve to restore my writing habit of at least 300 words/day. What does Andre or your Muse think about that?

This is a resolution I intend to work on. I knew the last one I posted was short. My only excuse was I was pushed for time and I wanted to go down in 2023 posting something relevant to the times.

What can be more relevant than all those stories and pictures of aliens and saucer type space vessels on Facebook, end times Aurora Borealis, and Big Foot stories. I turned off my Facebook notifications.

Recently read a story on Facebook about tinnitus. According to the story, if you have strange sounds hitting your brain it is because someone close to you hates you. I never heard that theory before. Grandma used to say if your ears itch it is because someone is talking about you. All this superstition will shake up the day.

Looked like a foggy day to me today. The only time I was out was to fill the bird feeder. That is when I realized. the fog was frozen mist in the atmosphere. Gathers on your jacket like icy rain. You can walk through it with out feeling it though.

I remember some odd weather in "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe." The witch made snow and Ice but everywhere the lion walked the weather thawed and spring hit.

ABC News put a page on my kindle that showed the statistics for no winter snow in a year, over many years. I think (?), it went back as far as 1970. I was interested to find many years with very light snow or no winter snow. We have not had any really bad relevant snow storms yet this year. The worst was heavy wind gust during one storm but, it did not last only a day or so.

Happy New Year!

Word Count on WDC = 316 Plus I wrote a blog for BCoF today as well.

Just a thought

Prompt: Use these words in your entry: hoodwink, scoop, legend, swallows, hill, and kitty

signature dancing owl

Kitty chased the swallows up the hill. It started a legend about a reporter, who tried to use the story as a scoop{/b,} to hoodwink the population who read the news.

Seems like some news you watch on the TV is like that today. I often wonder how accurate some of the worse stories are? Or is it suppose to rile us up enough to approve of WWIII? So many people dying unnecessarily. So much potential lost?
