Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

A Journal to impart knowledge and facts

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.

Riding outside is definitely more scenic.

Always treat an animal as if it understands your language. They understand more than people give them credit for most of the time. - Completely agree. If not the words, they understand tone and behaviour.

Such a beautiful entry!

I can imagine how lovely it can be living on a farm just because of the variety of animals. I think you were very lucky.

And yes, cats are very special friends.

Sounds like you're both well-satisfied with the living arrangements. The layout sounds lovely!

50 years = you're doing something right. I do wish I had a balcony.

In response to "Just Soup"

I eat soup with saltine crackers in the soup and more saltines and butter on the side.

I'm not a peanut butter fan. I grew up with Campbell's too! I can't believe how much a can of soup costs these days.

A garden in the world is nice even though life isn't perfect. Most of the earth is still beautiful. Good entry.

In response to "Write and then wait?"

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 agree editing should never be at the same time you write.

Wilderness Trees

" Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago." -Warren Buffett = Prompt

Hi!

Trees are on my mind this summer. We want to plant a orchard of fruit trees. I have a couple small apple trees growing in pots. Maybe I will get the orchard started.

Last year and now this summer I noticed how heavy the foliage on the trees is presenting. Last winter was far heavier than several years before. Now I wonder if the heavy number of leaves and needles on the trees is a sign of heavy snow and cold this coming winter season. Looking out my window the deep green of herbs and foliage behind the hay fields make it seem as if the wilder forest would like to overrun the open fields.

Makes me think of how the forest walked in one of the "Hobbit" wars. Hmm. Overcast skies, daily thunderstorms Maybe I have a touch of cabin fever.
