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. |
July 1st is coming right up. Have you reflected on the first half of 2023? Did things go as you hoped? Do you have goals for the second half of 2023? No to the first question. I'm not sure I was hoping for anything special out of this year. I don't really have any goals for the year. I have some things I would like to see happen. Making them as goals isn't an option. Goals to me are things I intend to work toward and be sure to accomplish. The only real goal now is to pay the taxes for the year and keep the monthly bills paid so I can continue to live here. That is an ongoing goal for many years before this and many years to come. I was included in a recent craft show so I spent some time this month crafting a couple dog leashes and some bookmarks. The craft show was last Saturday, and it was interesting to spend a day away from home. I met a lot of people and even though it rained we had a canopy set up, so the intermittent rain was not a problem. There was not a large turn out because of weather I suppose. The temperatures were warm, and it was in a scenic location. Maybe I will go to another sometime. I'll think about goals. Maybe I can rouse myself to make a few. Have a good 4th of July celebration. |
