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 just found out May 1 to be the Save the Rhino Day. If you were to work to save any species, either on this earth or elsewhere *Wink* , which species would you pick?  I read a book about this sometime in the last two years. It was about saving large animal endangered species. It seems the species that have tusks such as the elephant and Rhinoceros have a special problem with poachers. There is a black-market involving tusks because some Orientals believe they have a medicinal property. Because of this, poachers are literally trying to build catches of the tusks; then wipe out the species, which would drive the price up on the ivory by millions of dollars. I have read a lot about endangered species. I guess it would be difficult to just pick one species to save out of all the endangered out there. If we have an atomic war humans might be the most endangered of all. Save the humans, so they can save the elephants, Rhinos, birds, ocelots, monkeys, orangutans, and all the others. Just a thought. ![Merit Badge in Every Moment Matters

| Day 3723: May 1, 2023 Prompt: WDC May Calendar prompt: What is your proudest accomplishment this year?  This year 2023, we found a recycling program we like and are getting settled in it now, Also, I decided to upgrade my music knowledge. I took an ETSS (ear training and sight signing) course at a Bible institute in the 80's The course introduced the circle of fifths in a minor way. Now I am studying it in a more advanced way,. because chords are used in guitar playing. I have gone back to playing classical guitar daily. I had not actually played for several years. I'm just happy to find out I can still play. My planted lettuce seeds are sprouting, which makes me happy. And I started sharing some cash to a charity that I think is worthwhile. Hopefully I can continue to contribute as time goes forward. Small involvements but, things to advance the year in a positive way. Keep safe. Happy Trails. ![Merit Badge in Friendship
