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.
Great that you learned to read early, as did I, at three and a half from my grandmother, by asking her the letters on her wall-calendar. And yes, we do get to have different teachers for different things in life.
Interesting story, Judith. I think you're familiar with tornados. I've experienced two, thankfully we weren't in the direct path for the brunt of the damage. It takes a community to restore things back to some kind of normalcy.
I've written my own obituary and I've updated it each time I've moved. I've got some more work to do to finish my updated will but if something were to happen my existing will won't be the worst case scenario either. I just feel that the more I have in order the less stress my children will have on their plates.
Robert Graves invites you to use his poem, A Pinch of Salt as inspiration in your entry today. Poem is in the drop note.
Good Morning.
In the first part of the poem Graves seems to take away the projected dream. In the last part he gives it back. Perhaps it is an inspiration to remember that a dream can become a reality at any stage of life. Some dreams have to wait for the proper timing to be in place. Other dreams should never come to fruition.
Make your dreams worthwhile work toward them. Then let me know how that turns out.
Make a list of common objects that you might like to write about because of their appearance or personal association. Write comparisons to these objects anything--everything you can think about the objects. Now take all this information you've gathered and write a story or a poem about what you've discovered with your list. Have fun.
