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. |

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) Hi!I don't remember what year it was. Probably about 20 or more. I was outside on a February day, not wearing a coat. The sun was shining. The sap was running. I remember enjoying the weather after a heavy snow winter. I looked at the temperature when I went into the house it was 28 degrees outside. We had a really nice February that year. Now I wonder if my thermometer or memory is wrong. Most Februarys lately do not have temps in the 28 to 30 range. Today the sun is brightly shining. Present temperature is 19 degrees. We are having more sunshine daily, which makes me happy. The sun melts down some of the piled snow. Then the freezing temps hit in the night and put a glaze of ice on the top part of the melt. Our back yard is a two- or three-inch layer of ice from the backyard to the barn. Yesterday the walk to fill the bird feeders was a pure hazard. When I made it back to the house, I felt like an Antarctic explorer who conquered an iceberg. All this and no January thaw this year, Weather has its' own ideology. Bye. |
