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 could not miss Canada. It's one of my favorite countries after the USA. So, I visited the Royal Conservatory of Music. Koerner Hall has great seating and acoustics. This was a cool way to listen to music: Then visiting the Toronto Music Gardens. How cool Each sign complete with musical score to represent the exhibits in a musical setting. I love plants. I can grow them but I prefer to just enjoy them after they are grown . The Botanical gardens are beautiful. I think escape rooms for parties are just the right mystery for a party. I fear I would never be able to follow enough clues to get back out of a room. I'm relying on the 30-Day-Challenge group to help me escape. I still remember this song so I guess I will have to sing it. The Old Lamplighter Bing Crosby He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter Of long, long ago His snowy hair was so much whiter Beneath the candle glow The old lamplighter Of long, long ago You'd hear the patter of his feet As he came toddling down the street His smile would cheer a lonely heart you see If there were sweethearts in the park He'd pass a lamp and leave it dark Remembering the days that used to be For he recalled when things were new He loved someone who loved him too Who walks with him alone in memories He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter Of long, long ago His snowy hair was so much whiter Beneath the candle glow The old lamplighter Of long,… long ago.. https://youtu.be/fcdrBW2BRhc |
 Water shapes The Mt. Rainier Park. There is something soothing about rain and mist. Fog Rising Off Snow by Apondia Darker now the rain wet air stranger striding out of sight Grey dense fog without light blotting out the background lair forest vanishing from sight Darker now the rain wet air swirling cloak rests on her hair using cane to test the night Grey dense fog without light fog does tumble through the air moving on the ground so tight Darker now the rain wet air fog progresses without care rolling over ground so white Grey dense fog without light stranger pauses just to stare looks for any sunlight bright .Darker now the rain wet air Grey dense fog without light https://youtu.be/qgmXPCX4VzU Ed Sheehan rocks.
