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.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
I don't especially like soup. But I eat it as a meal used for healthy living. I almost always eat peanut butter crackers with soup. I really like Campbells Chicken noodle soup or tomato. Especially like Vegetable soups of various kinds. Most of the soup I eat is canned. (So to prepare. Use a can opener and read label directions for heating.) I know how to cook soup from scratch but, prefer to not do it.
When I think about it this probably comes from the prevalence of Campbell's soups in my childhood.
Interesting insight: I was eating crackers with peanut butter and jelly on them one day when one of my granddaughters walked in. With a startled look she said. "My other grandmother eats crackers like that too." Maybe a generation thing. You had to be there.
