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. |
Fun Fact Friday - Pick 3 random facts from this list and post about at least 1 of them.   1. It is impossible to sneeze with your eyes open. 2. Ketchup was sold in the 1930's as medicine. 3. Deer can't eat hay? Deer are ruminants. That means they regurgitate food from multiple stomachs, chew it and re-swallow it. They depend largely on certain types of bacteria to digest the food as it returns to one of their stomachs. If there is a severe winter and a human with good will is intent on helping the deer, with feed and they put out a lot of hay. The deer may fill up on the hay. But, they have not developed the proper bacteria to digest the hay they will starve even if their stomachs are full. However, their best foods are nuts and vegetables, acorns, are their favorite. So, if they feed on hay, when other foods are available the digestion of the other foods will help in the digestion of smaller amounts of hay. Deer eat very small amounts of browse in the winter. During the summer they produce body fat by eating large amounts of food. When the cold weather of winter shows up the deer cut down on their food intake and live off the body fat from summer browse. They like bird seed and will feed from a bird feeder if it is available. I've lost whole blocks of suet when deer stop by the bird feeders in the late evening. People can suffer from a psychological disorder called Boanthropy that makes them believe that they are a cow. They try to live their life as a cow. The human nose can remember 50,000 different scents. ![Merit Badge in The Monthly Reading Challenge
