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. |
Just an update because I am not getting on line very often this month and a lot happened in June. I lost my old horse. He went to stay with the riders in the sky. It was a surprise since he gained weight in the winter and was doing well in the first part of spring. One day, he went down in the paddock and just could not get back up. It was the end of his earthly journey. The month was better toward the end. Two of my granddaughters graduated from high school. Both received awards to continue their education. We had to drive to New York for one of the graduations and had a flat tire in a pouring down rain storm. We started out early enough so we just made the ceremony on time before it started. Of course, the weather continues to be somewhat erratic: warm and dry until about the middle of the month and now wet. The rain is good maybe the corn will be knee high by the 4th of July. I was babysitter for a grand dog. The family who owns an elderly dog left her with me, while they went on vacation. Our own dogs welcomed her into the family we all had a good time taking walks and playing retriever games. This pretty much brings me up to date on the month of June. I'm reading and posting lots of books on Goodreads for 2018. It's giving me the urge to write something worthwhile. WRITE ON! |
