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. |
![]() Someone has been stalking my farm and taking things outside again. While my little companion dog was outside they stole his name tag off his collar. It is brass and cost a lot of dollars. I'm extremely distressed that this would be continuing. Now, I will not be able to let the dog into the pen without watching his any more. Plus, a State Police man investigated some of my complaints a few years ago and told me it was not suppose to be happening any more. Since then things have been a little better but not any more. NBC local news ran a story about how many problems concerning animals have been happening in the last several weeks.This story was reported by the Anna Shelter. The story ran Thrus or Fri or this week. One White cat had his eye gouged out. I'm seriously disturbed that we have people who take out evil on helpless creatures who cannot fight back. If it had not happened in the 90's I would think it was harassment of the elderly but this is the same kind of thing that happened for years here. Before they stole Dog licenses off dog collars and killed my chickens, broke needles off in my horses leg, spread fleas around the yard (yes they actually left the container on my porch that they brought the flea in.) Now, I have to carry my gun every day again. ![]() |
