Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Prompt Prompts

I need your help to fill the Challenge War Chest with new prompts. Write four blogging prompts and choose one of your own to write your entry on.

Quote:“Work. Good, honest work, whether it’s working with your hands to create an artwork, or manual labor, brings forth a sense of divinity at play. The only prerequisite is that whatever the work is, it is done sincerely and in congruence with the soul’s true origin and intent, then, without any effort, one experiences a flow, wherein one feels a part of the plan of the entire universe.”
― Kamand Kojouri

Prompting the Crowd

Sometimes when someone asks for prompts for the War Chest I wonder where this war chest is located? During a challenge I wonder why they don't prompt about??? When we are asked to write a prompt I promptly forget all the prompts I thought up on my own. The mind backs up and sits down on the job, so here goes.

1. What was the most difficult physical labor you were asked to do as a child and how do you view that time in your life now.

I used to ride the rake for my dad when he put in loose hay for dairy cattle. It was an old trip rake pulled behind a tractor. It raked the hay into 10 foot long clumps. When there was a big enough pile of hay under the rake dad would look back and signal me. I would stamp on the trip lever with my foot (I weighed about 30 lbs. and it took my whole weight to trip the lever) to release the tines, then the lever would go back into place and the tines would drop back down to ground level where they dragged across the ground gathering the hay again.

I helped plant strawberry plants by hand for my uncle who had a truck garden. He sold produce to customers as a sideline to his shop work.

I learned farming from my dad and uncle and house cleaning from one of my aunts.

2. Do you have pets? How much knowledge do you actually have about training or caring for a pet.

3. Do you like to get into a vehicle and just drive around exploring roads and sights in your area? If you did what would you see?

4. Here is one a teacher gave me. Go out somewhere and sit. It can be at a park or your front porch, or a coffee house.or a grocery store. Describe what you see, what people are doing, what the weather is doing, what traffic is doing.Or tell us something you saw when you were out and about sometime, that you thought was unusual?

Bye Bye
