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. |
 I took some time off this summer to grow my garden and work on summer projects around the house and the farm. Keith built me a new manure cart since mine literally blew apart one day when I took out a load of manure. The sides fell off, the bottom tore away from the frame and the wheels separated from the rest of the assembly.  It wasn't even a windy day.I haven't built a blog entry since July 5 so of course I forgot how to set it up properly.  August starts tomorrow so I'll have to be more positive.I I just read "The Hidden Life of Trees" by Peter Wohllenben. This book was an amazing treat. If you are looking to learn about the way trees communicate read this book. Its a winner. To think that they are sending messages and feeding each other under the ground is awesome knowledge. It makes you look at the world with an open mind. My first father-in-law told me the earth is a living thing, that humans don't know enough about yet. He also thought the earth had the power to fight back if it was being destroyed. This book is relevant knowledge. It makes you view trees and our environment in a whole new way. Tomorrow we start our trip to tour South America. I am looking forward to what I will see and learn. South America is a very relevant subject to explore. Presently, I'm reading The Lost City of the Monkey god, by by Douglas Preston. It's a true story about archeology in Honduras. If Trump keeps up his blunder type of psychology it I wonder if we will have to reforge out relationships with South America when his presidency is over? It's a beautiful summer day. Kick back have a cool drink read a good book. Bye for now. |
