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.
Great that you learned to read early, as did I, at three and a half from my grandmother, by asking her the letters on her wall-calendar. And yes, we do get to have different teachers for different things in life.
Interesting story, Judith. I think you're familiar with tornados. I've experienced two, thankfully we weren't in the direct path for the brunt of the damage. It takes a community to restore things back to some kind of normalcy.
I've written my own obituary and I've updated it each time I've moved. I've got some more work to do to finish my updated will but if something were to happen my existing will won't be the worst case scenario either. I just feel that the more I have in order the less stress my children will have on their plates.

How odd. there's a bunny stalking toward the base of the tulip tree. Is there something in the grass there? Oh! a red squirrel at the base of the tree. The rabbit chased the red squirrel up the tree. Ha! Rabbit is running toward the apple tree, red squirrel is chasing rabbit. . Their kind of young, just playing. Hmm, there's another red squirrel in the maple on the corner. I wonder why we have chipmunks and red squirrels but never any bigger squirrels like you see in parks. There use to be lots of different kinds of squirrels in the woods when I was young.
I can be found in any weather, at different times of day, pausing to daydream, while staring out my living room windows.
