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.

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.

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.

A well rounded education does help. Have a great night.

Lovely! And how cute!
If I were there, I would probably want to pet the bears and the bobcats. Well, especially the bobcats. Then, at the end, I might not have my hands and arms to pet anything.

Favorites

Write about your favorite book, story, or poem.

I don't really have a favorite book, or story. There are too many really wonderful ones. I've always liked Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" I don't think I can recall enough poetry to pick a for sure favorite. I just enjoy reading because in a book you can view History, motives, and mindsets of numerous people in numerous nations' doing all the things people can think to do. My favorites are often the one I read yesterday.

Merry Christmas

Move

Prompt: "Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you.: Denis Waitley
Write about this in your Blog entry today.

Yesterday I took the dogs for a walk. We walked on green wet yard ground. Today what looks like foggy weather is actually tiny drops of snow which now litter the ground. Once again all is a white wonder land.

Determination Is active by endurance. Resolve is active by the mental insistence it takes to accomplish the goal. Both require a kind of energy placed upon the blocks in your way. Roadblocks will fall before the energy placed upon them as you achieve each step in your path. Wisdom works wonders, when thrown solidly against roadblocks.

Merry Christmas:
