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.
kare. Get a ski pole. It is what I use in winter can dig into snow and ice. Shows me snow depth and helps me have good footing on ice. Found mine years ago in the local Good Will store for cheap price.
IMHO, The weather is less predictable than 50 years ago. Regardless, there are cycles.
We have had brutal winds this week, some snow, 16°F right now. The cold is important to kill off the nasties and snow in the mountains will help our streams come summer.
I got a cane for walking but it won't help with ice.
I'm very concerned that more experienced people are being replaced in every dynamic of our society and that more and more incidents will occur. I'm at a loss as to why neither of their radar detected the other's presence. And how much the radio chatter was a distraction.
I am very sorry for all involved, their lives were taken too soon.
As I write a response to you a private medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia Friday evening. The first responders are dealing with a fire as the result of the crash. Did you know there was a small plane crash last week in California and another one in Nevada.
My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.
Pine is the essence of winter at this time of year, I think. Because of trees and wreaths for the holidays. Pine livens up the household and gives off a scent that reminds of walking along a forest trail.
No scents inside the house full of animals is pleasant. Two of my dogs have hunting genes and are inclined to smell anything that involves other species like birds on the front porch or mice in the walls. They also have exceptional hearing, which causes them to alert when there are birds at the feeder, deer browsing near the house, or rabbits hopping around close to a window or the porch.
Winter still solidly at home outside, More snow in the forecast. After a few years of mild winters this is just not fun.
