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.

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

In response to "Weather Moment"

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.

In response to "Coincidence!"

I'm very concerned that more experienced people are being replaced in every dynamic of our society and that more and more incidents will occur. I'm at a loss as to why neither of their radar detected the other's presence. And how much the radio chatter was a distraction.

I am very sorry for all involved, their lives were taken too soon.
As I write a response to you a private medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia Friday evening. The first responders are dealing with a fire as the result of the crash. Did you know there was a small plane crash last week in California and another one in Nevada.

I wish I had a dog or cat or pet. Maybe if I rented from someone who had them I could travel and then come home to my friends.

In response to "winter wonderland"

My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.

Unfortunately, I do the same.

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.

Weather Moment

Prompt: "China tea, the scent of hyacinths, wood fires and bowls of violets-that is my mental picture of an agreeable February afternoon." Constance Spry Write about this quote in your Blog entry today.

Hi!

I don't remember what year it was. Probably about 20 or more. I was outside on a February day, not wearing a coat. The sun was shining. The sap was running. I remember enjoying the weather after a heavy snow winter.

I looked at the temperature when I went into the house it was 28 degrees outside. We had a really nice February that year.

Now I wonder if my thermometer or memory is wrong. Most Februarys lately do not have temps in the 28 to 30 range.

Today the sun is brightly shining. Present temperature is 19 degrees. We are having more sunshine daily, which makes me happy. The sun melts down some of the piled snow. Then the freezing temps hit in the night and put a glaze of ice on the top part of the melt. Our back yard is a two- or three-inch layer of ice from the backyard to the barn.

Yesterday the walk to fill the bird feeders was a pure hazard. When I made it back to the house, I felt like an Antarctic explorer who conquered an iceberg.

All this and no January thaw this year, Weather has its' own ideology.

Bye.
