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.
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.
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.
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.
"Your bad luck will make for a great story tomorrow.” Let this Friday the 13th quote inspires your entry.
HI!
I did not know it was Friday the 13 until I read the prompt for today. So far just a normal day overflowing with things to do.
Our weather is giving us lots of sunshine the last several days. My container garden is reaping squash, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers.
If you are an herbalist. We have borders of goldenrod in full bloom along the edges of the hay fields.
This does remind me though that I read an article once about September 11. The article said September 11 is a day for a lot of historical good and bad things to happen. 1783 Benjamin Franklin wrote, " There never was a good war or bad peace".
I guess the truth might be Friday the 13th is just another day, remembered, because of a bad reputation.
