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. |
Write about a two different smells...one that triggers an unpleasant memory, and one that triggers a happier moment.   There are lots of smells in a rural setting. Rain on the wind, cinnamon rolls at Sunday Morning breakfast, and believe it or not horse manure. These are all good smells.I have been around Cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and other farm animals. Horse manure is the easiest to clean up and has the least acidic smell. I use it on the garden and add it to the fields to enrich the top soil. It reminds me of all the great rides I have had over the years. Horses are awesome creatures. They are grateful for clean stalls, regular feed, and brushing. In my barn are a horse and a pony. Both are old creatures. They are the last two equines I will ever own. Caring for them helps me stay active. Even clean they have their own odor. Bad smells are more difficult, chicken and pig manure ugh! Even when they are clean the odor is unpleasant. Snow blizzards on an incoming wind are an icy, sharp smell. It freezes the sinuses. I guess one of the worst is the smell of infection. Because it is a dangerous smell. So, much for snuffling and snorting smells.We do discuss the oddest subjects.  |
