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. |
 Although I'm sure the strip has a lot of entertainment to offer I was also interested to view some of the surrounding scenery. I thought the Hotel was an awesome looking place but after checking in I talked some of the group into hitting the road. We hired a car and drove the 22 miles to a nearby 120 acre place called Spring Mountain Ranch State Park. The views of nearby mountains were spectacular. The springs from these mountains used to be a source of water for the Paiute tribes who settled the area. Of course the ranch has cattle but, another draw are the museum sites of former famous people who spent time at the ranch. After our visit here we raced back to get to the concert: Lots of rock in this group: I skipped chippendale, someone else will have to fill me in to this rowdy bunch. Some of you visited the casinos I'm sure. Did you come home wealthy? BYE FOR NOW! |
