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.

In response to "Just One Day at a Time"

Turning the television off, staying off social media and going for a walk, and seeing a sunset are my favorite ways to keep myself balanced.

Yes, you do ... don't we all.

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.

In response to "Truly Autumn Now"

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?

Well, when you put it that way, I wouldn't want to go over the falls either!

In response to "Dr. Suess"

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 dodge my granddaughters kitten more times than I want and I'm always worried about falling. We just don't bounce like we used to, do we Judith?

In response to "Autum Leaves"

Where I lived in Maine, raising my family was rural. I used to drive them into town so they could experience Halloween with their friends.

As a child, I always had to take my younger siblings, I couldn't go with my friends.

Our approach these days is definitely flawed.

Historical Claims

Prompt: What surprises have you discovered about your ancestors?

HI.

I guess surprises is not the word I would use. Very little surprises me. I have not verified it, but I am thinking some of my relatives were catholic at one time. Now claim to be protestant. I also found out ancestors were involved in shipping from an island off the British coast. There was a partial name change when they moved to the new world. (what is now the USA). There are some good family stories. Maybe true maybe not. I would like to know more about European family members on both sides of my family. Some members of the family claim only one-sided history. I like family stories of years gone by. I bet they were all interesting people with interesting lives.

Bye for now.
