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 think it's amazing the crow family joins you. I have hummingbirds every day and I love watching them. Birdwatching is immensely enjoyable. I am grateful that we choose to visit each day.
The temperatures have dropped here in Nevada too. There's a mountain we see in the distance, and it's already dressed in white. I think it's going to be an interesting winter, don't you?
Judith, Dr. Suess published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons, and he worked in the animation and film department of the United States Army. My first experience with his work was How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which was published in 1957 and my grandmother bought it to read to me.
I have not solidified my plans yet. I have been cleaning off and on during the winter months. I have a lot of things that need to be removed. Old Tecnologies need to be recycled, a tool room needs to be replaced in the barn. The basement family room is starting to look better now.
The thought of spring gives me reason to start planning the garden. We have a fairly successful container garden that will have to be replanted. Container gardening suits me because there are not any weeds and lots of yummy fresh foods to eat.
I would like to spray the few apple trees still growing in the yard this year and maybe plant a new apple tree. A fruit tree orchard has been a thought for several years just have not made it work yet. We will see how things work out in finances.
Seeing some patches of green grass outside today. It is supposed to rain all day. That would take down some of the snow I bet. See Ya.
