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. |
The prompt today is very simple: Write about the person you call Mom.   My mom died in January near my 6th birthday. No mom after that. There were lots of different female relatives who took care of me. None were ever mom, mother, mama, or any other type of word used to describe a mom. Some were aunt this or that, but most were irritated with dad, because he thought women should be responsible for raising all children. (A symbol of the times) All but two woman were actually related to us in some way. Others were babysitters. Nope no mom. I guess my brother and I were a handful. Unsecured boats floating in the current. Blank sheets of paper for people to write their actions on. Now I have children and grandchildren both male and female. I'm glad I lived to see them grow up. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY |
