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. |
Talk Tuesday! Rather than the tired, boring "which famous person would you like to have dinner with" prompt, let's change it around a little...Which famous (but also non-chef and non-domestically focused individual) would you most like to prepare you a meal? Why that person, and what would you make them cook you? They will not be eating with you, but you will have to tell them what you think of the food. Cooking only means more busy work for me. A famous person would only be famous because of something special they do Actress, actor, writer, politician, teacher, lawyer, Indian chief, you get the picture. So, maybe they would not appreciate making food for anyone. So, I choose Anna Pigeon. Your right! She isn't real. I would have to, rightly so, ask Nevada Barr. Hamburgers on an outdoor grill would be fine. I'll bring the potato salad. Why? She is one of my most loved authors. I read all her books. Anna pigeon is one of my favorite characters. I know more about the National Parks because of her books. It would just be fun to know her as a person. I'm sure we could talk while she turns the burgers. Just so you know I have a lot of favorite authors. Some of them write nonfiction. |
