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.

lweather first

Now I wonder how this works. After reading Queen Norma Jean, ours came in like a lamb so I expect it to leave like a lion, however, we just had a two-day snowstorm with temps in the low 30's. Now the sun is shining and expecting temps in the 60's before the day is over. This is the time of year I think the weather is fighting. Winter wants back in Spring is pushing it out. Lot of summer birds back. I heard the first ones singing in the dawn back in early February. Usually means an early spring. As far as Lyin and Lams go. This kind of weather is difficult on the weather apps because they say one thing at 4 a.m. and something else at 10 a.m. Just not sure where they get there forecast but, sometimes it isn't relevant to the area we live in. Spring forth be happy. See Ya,

Planting and Growing

Day 3439: March 12, 2024

Prompt: Today is Plant a Flower Day

What kind of flower would you like to plant? Where would you like to plant the flower?

Apondia

I planted mint in a flowerpot last week and the sunshine is making it grow up fast. I used to have a mint plant that lasted indoors in a hanging pot for several years. I would break off pieces and feed it to my parrots. I also dried it and used it for tea. The parrots like all kinds of green herbs as part of their treats. I would like to plant crocus. I have one crocus that comes up every year I would like to plant a whole bed of them maybe I will this year.

After a two-day snowstorm we are having whole days of sunshine. Good-bye snow hello spring. Have a good day. Bye.
