Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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.

Yes, an orchard sounds nice. What apple varieties do you have? Any pears?

In response to "Just a Color Away From Perfect"

I don't think I knew that ink coloring pencils existed. I'll have to look into them. Unless you mean markers? I do have those.

You have a lovely mix of coloring books.

Hope you have a great day and that the rain / warmer weather melts enough snow and ice so you can safely get out of the house soon.

A fruit tree orchard is a dream of mine too. We do have a cherry tree but it's more ornamental than productive. I had planted some fig trees but an overzealous helper thought they were weeds and killed them.

We have robins and red-winged black birds all year here.

It's nice to have warmer temperatures!

In response to "Muffins and stories"

I have two ginger cats, both are male. Macavity is 11 and Pumpkin is 3. Both have very strong personalities.

My son raises chickens and this young kitten appeared out of now where one afternoon. My son saw the tail up following the chickens around. He didn't give it much thought because he figured it was the neighbors kitten. He discovered the kitten in the henhouse nestled in the hay with one of the chickens. He put it outside and shooed it away. Only to find it there in the morning, so he called the neighbor who said they didn't have any kittens.
The kitten did live long in the henhouse because once my grandson saw the kitten he became a member of the family. His name is Tom, he still hangs out with the chickens during the day but comes inside to get dinner and sleep with CJ.

I'm having trouble with Edge too, not letting me read everything I download as well. Annoying!

In response to "Poo Bear Too."

We had 3 sets of encyclopedias, 2 newspapers daily, one on Sunday. We didn't have many magazines and very few books.

So, I read a lot... just not much that was fluff or gossip.

I remember Prince Valiant. I like some political cartoons.

kare. Get a ski pole. It is what I use in winter can dig into snow and ice. Shows me snow depth and helps me have good footing on ice. Found mine years ago in the local Good Will store for cheap price.

TRICKY DNA

Prompt: A beautiful baby giraffe was born in a zoo in Tennessee. Whats the big deal? She has no spots! She is all brown. Write about this in your Blog entry today.

She is part of the species called Reticulated giraffes. There are 4 species of giraffes. Also, other spotless giraffes have been born in other places. Two siblings were born spotless in the 1900's in Japan.

It is probably of interest to people who follow zoo news and just are interested in environmental species throughout the world.
Also, the group of people out there, who are interested in environmental biology is quite large. It is a news item that brings a certain calm to the other more alarming news that can be in any news media. It reminds us that an exact replica of anything cannot necessarily be counted on in earthly biology.

Just my thoughts.

Local News Cast = Cooler Weather

Prompt: If you were a household furnishing, what would you be and why?

I thought of all kinds of furnishings with a soul. I imagined the sofa, rugs, washing machines and other furniture dancing around. My muse was a little out of control. Something like Walt Disney's musical popped into my mind.

I think I would be a Television. Because I could bring in the news, music, and entertainments.
