Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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.

Yes, an orchard sounds nice. What apple varieties do you have? Any pears?

In response to "Just a Color Away From Perfect"

I don't think I knew that ink coloring pencils existed. I'll have to look into them. Unless you mean markers? I do have those.

You have a lovely mix of coloring books.

Hope you have a great day and that the rain / warmer weather melts enough snow and ice so you can safely get out of the house soon.

A fruit tree orchard is a dream of mine too. We do have a cherry tree but it's more ornamental than productive. I had planted some fig trees but an overzealous helper thought they were weeds and killed them.

In response to "Life Moves On"

We have robins and red-winged black birds all year here.

It's nice to have warmer temperatures!

In response to "Muffins and stories"

I have two ginger cats, both are male. Macavity is 11 and Pumpkin is 3. Both have very strong personalities.

My son raises chickens and this young kitten appeared out of now where one afternoon. My son saw the tail up following the chickens around. He didn't give it much thought because he figured it was the neighbors kitten. He discovered the kitten in the henhouse nestled in the hay with one of the chickens. He put it outside and shooed it away. Only to find it there in the morning, so he called the neighbor who said they didn't have any kittens.
The kitten did live long in the henhouse because once my grandson saw the kitten he became a member of the family. His name is Tom, he still hangs out with the chickens during the day but comes inside to get dinner and sleep with CJ.

In response to "AI?"

I'm having trouble with Edge too, not letting me read everything I download as well. Annoying!

In response to "Poo Bear Too."

We had 3 sets of encyclopedias, 2 newspapers daily, one on Sunday. We didn't have many magazines and very few books.

So, I read a lot... just not much that was fluff or gossip.

I remember Prince Valiant. I like some political cartoons.

kare. Get a ski pole. It is what I use in winter can dig into snow and ice. Shows me snow depth and helps me have good footing on ice. Found mine years ago in the local Good Will store for cheap price.

In response to "Weather Moment"

Beautiful entry! I love how you relate to things and your conclusions, such as: "Weather has its' own ideology." Very writerly!

Merry Muppets

Alas, I know very little about the Muppets. I certainly don't know enough to choose a favorite. I do encourage my parrots to watch Sesame Street. When my cockatoo started watching the program, it was actually not very fond of the Puppet part of the show. Just liked the music. Have you ever heard a parrot sing? Not necessarily melodic. I find it comforting that they like my guitar playing well enough to sing along. My big bird did become more of a fan of Sesame Street as years move on.

I often buy children's books from Amazon to read to my pet population. This has caused Amazon to place a children's section on my kindle and often ask who is watching a movie, Me or the child listed on the kindle. As I have dogs, cats, and birds I don't ask which child they are referring too or explain the situation. Life's little oddities are extraordinary.

Have a smiley day.
