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 "Favorites"

It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.

In response to " Dependency"

my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.

I agree with you. I love changing it up every now and again.

In response to "Thankful Memories"

Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. Book festival here in Malaysia... and rain. Enjoy the snow if it comes your way.

Best Thanksgiving ever for me? Sardines and crackers.

In response to "Mentors are helpful"

I'm sure you were a great mom, even though you were young. You strike me as a highly caring and responsible person.

It's never too late to share the story with your children even if they're adults.

Its Merry Winter now.

Discuss what you know about solstice traditions. Have you ever attended a summer or winter celebration?

signature dancing owl

I don't particularly remember any summer or winter celebrations. Just USA holidays near certain times of the year. Such as Labor Day and Memorial Day. There is a cross on a hill near one of the towns close to us. We used to gather at the church and march through the streets of the town, up the hill to pray at the cross at sunup on good Friday.

I was interested to note, that I did not even ever hear the word solstice until I had my own home and was raising children. After the computer age came in, I did a class in weather, attended one class in the study of stars, and had a chart on the wall about the solstice and movements of the moon.

Have to go. Happy Holidays to everyone.
