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. |
I recently read a book by Amelia Kinkade called the Language of Miracles. It is basically about the science of reaching animal minds through psychic abilities. There are a Lot of examples http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2084017/A-Cambridge-scientist-believes... like this article, on the internet. I recently had an interesting encounter with a garter snake. It was larger than most of the snakes we see around here. And, the colors were vibrant. I think it must be eating well this season. Over the last month, I have spied it out by the horse pasture, in the back yard moseying along a pathway and in the garden sleeping inside one of the beds I was planting. The day it was watching me plant it was approximately 2 feet long. A few days later I found a shed snake skin inside that garden bed so I suppose it is longer and bigger now. My begonias are blossoming and bring a lot of color to the planters on the porch. It is a hot sunny July day today. |
