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. |
 Write about a piece of jewelry that has special significance to you. I have several pieces of jewelry that remind me of special times in life. Three of them were bought for me by my daughter. My daughter and I were at a college type flea market. There was a ring there I really liked. It had a ridiculously low price tag on it. The price was so low I actually quizzed the dealer to make sure I was reading it right. Assured of the price I started counting all my change and came up a couple dollars short. My daughter chipped in and we came up with the proper amount. I think the ring was actually made for a man. I cut the band and sized it down to fit my finger. It fits my finger well. On the ring there is a figure of an eagles nest. There are eggs in the nest. An Eagle in flight is landing on the edge of the nest. It is a striking scene. Since I never had a graduation ring from the college I consider this my signature graduation ring. The ring is made of pewter. My oldest son gave me a pewter book mark. I really liked it and used it constantly but, it was stolen. My youngest son brought me a metal designer book mark from a vacation he took. Although they aren’t exactly jewelry they are special and something I use often. I have many pieces of jewelry that were given me by family members at different times in life that remind me of different life events. |
