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.

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.

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.

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.

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

IMHO, The weather is less predictable than 50 years ago. Regardless, there are cycles.

We have had brutal winds this week, some snow, 16°F right now. The cold is important to kill off the nasties and snow in the mountains will help our streams come summer.

I got a cane for walking but it won't help with ice.

Patience is Kind

Prompt: "Patience is learned through waiting. " Eyen A. Gardner Write about this in your Blog entry.

Good Morning.

The prompt for BCoF today was about death. Hope the people waiting for me to die are learning patience. Not a subject to take lightly either patience or death.

I think it is easy to lose patience when you are being harassed. And, I guess you always have to remember what is said about the People Wo Make Things Happen. Over the centuries these kinds of people whoever they may be can make life purely miserable when they meddle with a normal lifestyle.

Another subject equals meddling. If you lose your patience because someone else is meddling in your life. It is understandable. Patience, Peace, and Prosperity are always better than war, destruction, and desperation.

Write On.

Still Here.

We're all going to pass at some point in time, which piece of your own writing would you like to be remembered by/with. If not a piece of writing what other remembrance would you choose?

Hi. From Apondia

I'm not criticizing death. I recently read in an esoteric science book. Death is something every living thing passes through on its way to extending life.

I'm going to leave it to the choice of the family. It is interesting, just lately a lot of people continue to dwell on death. I just try to make every day count, while I'm still here. I did start a will this summer. The will probably won't have any affect if I die before Keith.

I do think someone will want my rolodex if I die. Actually, they probably want it now.

Since college I have had 2 how-'tos' on my desk. One is 10 guidelines for writing news. The other is 9 obituary guidelines. Maybe I will write my own obituary and leave it behind. If I follow the guidelines, it might be an awesome piece of writing.

Any of you out there who are constantly thinking of your death want help with your obituary let me know?

God willing I'll be back tomorrow, if I make it through today.

Quote: Revelation 21:4 - "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Hope is eternal.
