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. |
I'm spending April reading and catching up on yard cleaning. I've been walking and hiking. The weather is drawing me outdoors. The geese are flying over daily to their nesting areas. Green is appearing in the woods more densely every day. The horses are losing their winter coats. My granddaughters were here for a day. They surrounded the pony and sheds out a lot of her hair. The pony loves it when they are here. She seems to be depressed the day after they leave. They are too big to ride her now. This is one of the nicest ponies. She really likes little children. I found this quote in "A Treasury of Great American Quotes" by Charles Hurd. Quote: "Anger blows out the lamp of the mind." by Robert Green Ingersoll. Revel in each spring day. Reconnect with the great outdoors. Even a walk around the block in the heat of spring sunshine is rejuvenating. |
