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. |
Describe the last time you were moved to tears by something beautiful.  It was probably watching American Pharaoh win last years derby. So many people wanted the horse to win. Best of all the hose wanted to win. Horses are athletes. The jockey on the track afterwards, while news media was interviewing him from the back of American Pharaoh made a point to try to impress the news person with Pharaoh's individual effort. Often the media gives the credit to the jockey and leaves the horse out as if it is just the jockey and trainer who worked. This pretty much shows the ignorance some people have about the horses who run these races. The animal gets emotionally involved in the race. If they enjoy racing they look forward to it with excitement. If they don't enjoy their job they can be evil about the way they tell the trainers and riders their feelings. Horses are very intelligent and expressive as they accomplish what ever work they do. Many times, after they retire they are not as happy as when they are running a race or in training. Their attitude about their work can depend on who is handling their care. What is that phrase? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |
