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 is bursting with life. Gardens are growing, hay is ready for storing, and the park I live in is full of young wild life playing in the sun. This week, while I was typing at my computer and taking time to stare out the window. I saw two young fawns barely big enough to be losing their spots. They were chasing each other around the elm tree in the back yard, jumping high into the air, tackling each other and running wildly in circles. There are tiny young red squirrels and chipmunks bouncing through the grass. Newly hatched grosbeaks and robins with newly grown flight feathers, eating bugs and checking out the bird feeders. Rain and sunshine make everything grow. July 4 is turning into a bright sunshiny summer day. A day to celebrate. |
