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.

Graves does remind us how easily one dream can fade and another begins. I think it's definitely a thought-provoking poem.

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.

In response to "Still Here."

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.

In response to "Muddling Along"

I so agree! I'm about to throw up on the election rhetoric and especially the attacks and counter-attacks. Not to mention what those can do to growing children's psyches!

And if you are making

fudge, I'm coming over!

In response to "Muddling Along"

That was an AWFUL way to wake up.

My kids were in 4-H and one of them wanted to raise a goat. I bought 2 adult females, Alpines; one had three kids and the other two. After a few years, we had a small herd. We drank and sold milk. We also made yogurts.

I love chocolates :) I would love your fudge.

Nice, I like the action.
Is it the movie, The Rouge Stallion? I think it took place either in Australia and/or New Zealand. I recall watching something like that on TV.

Warm Weather on a Quiet Day

Write about your ideal weekend.

The Washington Post ran an article about the Carson City, Nevada female majority, in the Carson City newly elected congress. It's called, "Where Women call the shots." I couldn't link it but it was a really nifty article. I was impressed with the fact that they want to pass a law to look into early female deaths where the male from a marriage is left alone to get a new spouse.

IDEAL WEEKEND

Actually, I don't think I even have a thought about an ideal life any more. I guess Ideal would be to payoff the mortgage and make sure K has enough cash to keep up with his meds but, that is not just a weekend ideal.

I watched the Preakness yesterday on TV. Gave me quite a start when Bodexpress came out of the gate with a massive buck, that totally unseated his rider, John Velaquez. Then the horse proceeded to run the entire race riderless but, to my relief did not try to join the pack, as they thundered around the track. Even though he hit the track hard, Velaquez did not seem to be drastically injured as he walked away brushing himself off.

Char and I took a walk this morning after barn chores and when I finish the blog I will probably read or watch a movie this afternoon. The weather is trending toward hot and sunny with high cumulus clouds floating above. If I blink the weekend will be over and I will be off getting other things done for next week. I guess a good ideal would be calm and quiet and peaceful time.

I Put the screens down and the storm windows up, upstairs and opened the windows wide. Fresh air in the house is great so it's a presummer weekend. Out on our walk this morning I saw the first bees buzzing around.

See Ya!
