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. |
![]() ![]() Watching out the East window this morning, while the sun was rising, sunlight caught the tulip tree swathed in mist. The foliage of large leaves has not yet totally turned into autumn colors. The large leaves became heavy with moisture and brought the lowest limbs down so they almost touched the ground. Yesterdays wind was striping dead leaves, off the trees, throwing them through the air like an autumn leaf storm. I was up early. I was working on Oct. Prep assignments and cleaning. Now, that our new wall is finished the room is getting back to normal. I am hoping to get finished early and spend the afternoon reading. The European Space Agency is an Intergovernmental organization. Their Exomars Schiaparelli Lander will touch down on Mars, October 19. Landing on Mars. ![]() ![]() I saw a commander of USA air forces speak last night on the news. He says the West will have to be on High Alert for retaliation when the ground forces retake Mosul. Pray for all the innocent evacuees who are presently running for their lives as the area becomes a hotbed of violent actions. The End. |
