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 "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.

In response to "AI?"

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!

IMHO, The weather is less predictable than 50 years ago. Regardless, there are cycles.

We have had brutal winds this week, some snow, 16°F right now. The cold is important to kill off the nasties and snow in the mountains will help our streams come summer.

I got a cane for walking but it won't help with ice.

Hallmark and Other Intertainment

Prompt:Do you like Hallmark Romance Movies? Do you like the Christmas ones? Write about these in your Blog entry today.

Hi from Apondia

I used to watch Christmas movies. I haven't for a few years. I used to watch what was known as chick flicks. Actually, stopped watching TV for a few years even news. Could not stand the constant coverage of Covid and did not have Netflix.

My son takes me to movies he knows I want to keep up with like Star Wars. On my kindle I'm inclined to choose movies by their title. I watched the Wheel of Time for a while, then for some reason Amazon did not keep sending it to my kindle. Lately, I've been watching Midsummer Murders and on TV I never watched Bull so I'm watching it now. Also never watched Criminal Minds before. Just read Don't Tell by Olson so seem to be diving into murder mystery a lot lately, dark side diving. I really don't like reruns. Even in books reruns are not tolerated very often. We have an antenna so are subject to reruns.

As for Hallmark Movies they are usually entertaining. Always watched Charlie Brown Christmas.I miss the comics from the newspapers. I know I could find them online. Don't deliberately read romance books and have not for years. Age brings with it a separation from things other people choose for me. A study of geography gave me a good take on why romance is pushed a lot in entertainment.

Christmas this year is a mystery. What it will be like I don't yet know.

First Snow

Have fun with these nine words: muscle, watch, wardrobe, energy, strike, exception, consciousness, point, and incentive.

Hi.

Apondia

Today I need a warm wardrobe. As I watch out the window for the snow forecast to strikeI maintain a consciousness of the incentive it takes to achieve muscle and energy during a snow storm. My point is shoveling snow is a heavy job. The exception will be if this first snow is light and melts as it hits the ground. Maybe I should have tried this in a poem.
