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. |
When you have an unexpected hour of free time, how do you fill it? When I eat lunch I take at least an hour if I'm busy. Or I sit down for awhile to rest. I play Township, or read a book for awhile. If it is an audio book I listen to the book and put a puzzle together. During the summer heat I took a lot of free time. Even now I have enough time to read about 1 book a week. I tried to get back into writing more. I need more organization. So, I just have to sit down and write. But, I'm not resting when I write. The weather here turned cold early. Winter birds are already gone. Apple trees around are dieing. At least one of them hit by lightning the other one needs a spray which I don't have. Probably, has blight. We have had at least two hard frost and September isn't over so we are trying to get machinery put away for the winter. I'm working on some badly needed fixes to the dog pen presently, beside keeping up the normal household chores. It may be a difficult winter season. Right now the weather is stable. No big storms. Outside needs worked on while we can still do outside work. I don't work as fast as I used to. What I once got done in a day probably takes 3 to 5 days now. Plus, I sleep more now. A flock of 23 wild turkeys just walked by my window they are here, in the field and yard, every day now. They and the deer like to eat the apples off the ground under the trees. Bye for Now. |
