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. |
The next time I ___________, I will __________. complete the sentence. The next time I walk the dog, I will have to take a longer walk. Yesterday, I was cleaning house. I only went outside once to put some seed in the bird feeder. I took my dog with me. We walked once around the house. That really almost can't be called a walk. Summer birds have already flown south. Winter birds are starting to check the feeder once in awhile even though it is still summer weather during the day. Another frost last night. Not many leaves turning on the deciduous trees yet. Uncommonly cold for this time of year. I started the furnace yesterday for half a day, then again this morning. I don't really want to have to heat the house.yet. Don't want to be cold either. Chipmunks are trying to steal cat food off the balcony. Probably storing it for winter. I heard an owl out back one day this week. The sound was quite far off probably in the woods or gully somewhere. Stay warm and keep safe. |
