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.

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.

books to Read

Prompt:What books have you read that you find yourself thinking about years later? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

Hi.

I read the Bible both Old and New Testaments many days a week. So, it is easy for my mind to recall passages daily.

I'm presently reading "The Universal One," by Walter Russel. I will probably be remembering it for a long time.

I often remember parts of the entire series of "The Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe." I believe it is an allegory of life on planet earth. Perhaps put on the earth to acquaint children of the hazards they would meet in everyday life. Reading the first book in the series or watching the movies made about it, should never be enough.

I think of "Lessons in Chemistry" by Bonnie Garmus now and then. Or "No visible Bruises" by Louise Snyder once in a while.

I have favorite authors--fiction -- Laurie King, writes about Sherlock Holmes and Mary Russel, All the Hobbit series, and I like Science Fiction about space travel.

Over the years I've read too many to name them all and anyone of them may slip into my thoughts for no imaginable reason. The Black Stallion, The Red Stallion, Little Women, Robert Frost Poems, Hiedi, Lots of others. I put them all there when I was reading, so I guess my mind will mull over them when it is not so busy with other thoughts.

Bye
