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.

Yes, an orchard sounds nice. What apple varieties do you have? Any pears?

In response to "Just a Color Away From Perfect"

I don't think I knew that ink coloring pencils existed. I'll have to look into them. Unless you mean markers? I do have those.

You have a lovely mix of coloring books.

Hope you have a great day and that the rain / warmer weather melts enough snow and ice so you can safely get out of the house soon.

A fruit tree orchard is a dream of mine too. We do have a cherry tree but it's more ornamental than productive. I had planted some fig trees but an overzealous helper thought they were weeds and killed them.

We have robins and red-winged black birds all year here.

It's nice to have warmer temperatures!

In response to "Muffins and stories"

I have two ginger cats, both are male. Macavity is 11 and Pumpkin is 3. Both have very strong personalities.

My son raises chickens and this young kitten appeared out of now where one afternoon. My son saw the tail up following the chickens around. He didn't give it much thought because he figured it was the neighbors kitten. He discovered the kitten in the henhouse nestled in the hay with one of the chickens. He put it outside and shooed it away. Only to find it there in the morning, so he called the neighbor who said they didn't have any kittens.
The kitten did live long in the henhouse because once my grandson saw the kitten he became a member of the family. His name is Tom, he still hangs out with the chickens during the day but comes inside to get dinner and sleep with CJ.

I'm having trouble with Edge too, not letting me read everything I download as well. Annoying!

In response to "Poo Bear Too."

We had 3 sets of encyclopedias, 2 newspapers daily, one on Sunday. We didn't have many magazines and very few books.

So, I read a lot... just not much that was fluff or gossip.

I remember Prince Valiant. I like some political cartoons.

kare. Get a ski pole. It is what I use in winter can dig into snow and ice. Shows me snow depth and helps me have good footing on ice. Found mine years ago in the local Good Will store for cheap price.

Beautiful entry! I love how you relate to things and your conclusions, such as: "Weather has its' own ideology." Very writerly!

Mercy is a Great Rrealm

Prompt:
"Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge."
William Shakespeare

I'm only acquainted with things I've read about the nobility in different countries. They are not always inclined to see their obligation to the poor that reside in their countries. Also, mercy means different things to different people depending on the need in someones life.

The Old Testament Psalms often speak of God's merciful nature. Still anything bad happens on earth it is blamed on God by someone. It is interesting that when God is blamed for some unfortunate happening, whoever is blaming God is actually admitting that God is an individual.

Then, there is the thought I have of individual power in life. Where does an individual need to show mercy? If God is able to show mercy can we as individual do the same? My muse is in a philosophical frame of mind.

Happy New Year. Stay warm.

Stormy Weather

Prompt: I am looking forward to ___________________ in 2024, because ...

I am looking forward to spring in 2024 because when it snows I am always looking forward to spring. And this weekend it finally snowed like it was actually Northwestern Pa., USA.

I filled the bird feeder late yesterday afternoon and it is a good thing because the bird of many varieties are flocking in and out of the feeder this morning. These are year - round birds that are adept at living in this climate no matter the circumstances. My human side just wants to shiver when I think of living without heat in a snow storm. It has been snowing now for two days. Accuweather says it will stop today for most of the day. Than tomorrow it will snow in the morning and rain in the p.m. which will mean ice on the roads unless it warms up enough to melt everything. So, I'm in hibernation mode officially.

Happy New Year--stay warm.

Fractures

Fracture resolutions? I'm for it. I'm just not sure how to go about it. You see I haven't believed in New Year's resolutions for almost ever. Because even day to day living can be fractured. All you have to do to stop any plan from happening in my life is get out of bed in the morning.

I looked up some of the most used resolutions. Some of the most popular are, lose weight, improve physical health, improve mental health, eat healthier, be happy. Be happy might work out if you don't try to keep a New Year's resolution.

To really fracture something you have to crack or break it. You know like some people are trying to break the quincunx of the planet. Most resolutions can be broken by putting something else in the time slot where you would accomplish the daily workings of the resolution. Mental health can be broken easily by unimaginable psychological harassment. Physical health can be broken by slipping on a banana peel thrown carelessly on the floor. Andre can help you with that one. Writers block can be broken by a good idea, anyone out there have one? Everyday exercising can be broken by sleeping in, especially during the winter months when snow is present.

On line resolutions are considered goals to psych you up. It seems to me a lot of people are already too
psyched or they would not be threatening to start WWIII.( Did you know the WWIII symbol has a line under it as being misspelled?) However, WWII is considered proper spelling. The world is white outside my window. My resolution to stay tucked in my chair with a good book and a thick fuzzy blanket is already fractured.

Well you get the idea here anyway. Three hundred words huh? We shall see as soon as I make a resolution I want to fracture.

Word count on WDC = 317

Happy New Year!
