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. |
What is one thing (sight, smell, sound, object, etc) that, when you encounter it, instantly brings you back to your childhood?  BOOKS Probably the book Heidi. Someone gave me a copy of Heidi at an early age.For awhile it was the only book I had that was not a "Little Golden Book." Heidi and the goats on the mountain, her attachment to grandfather was interesting, as I look back now. I read it so many times I knew pictures and phrases by heart. I now believe it was given to me to use as a manipulation of my life. The so called experimenters thinking ahead. I was raised on goat's milk, which is a no, no in some cultures. My dad wanted me to raise dairy goats because my mother wanted to raise dairy goats. I raised sheep and dairy goats for 8 years. Spent time learning to do it right. Sold the sheep and goats to get another horse. Which prompted at least two people to state they really did not know me at all. Oh, well a different life would have just had different stories. The snow all melted Sunday. Last night it put down 6 more inches and 6 more are expected by morning. Bird feeders are filled and lots of birds and red squirrels are feeding now at the feeders. Two of my cats are young. There is a cat door out to the balcony, where I keep cat boxes and feed so the dog won't eat the cat food. It isn't heated but totally enclosed, so snow, rain, and weather are kept out. Morning after the first snow the two young cats were sitting on chairs staring out at the white world, wondering, I'm sure, how the world outside their windows turned white in the night. The End . |
