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.
Always treat an animal as if it understands your language. They understand more than people give them credit for most of the time. - Completely agree. If not the words, they understand tone and behaviour.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
Quote: Doubt is a great worm in a crispy, red apple. by Sally Gardner {link:https://www.quotemaster.org/red+apple}
I didn't know there was such a thing as Eat A Red Apple Day. The apples I have presently, are Mackintosh. They have red even in the apple flesh closest to the skins. Apples are cholesterol free, fat free, and a good source of fiber.
I got up at 6:30 A.M. to replenish the corn stove. Snow everywhere outside. But warm inside. I ate half an apple as a snack. I shared my apple with the parrots. They are always happy for fruit snacks. Leaving breakfast until later in the morning.
The snow is heavy, easily packed. It’s good for snow angels, snow men, skiing, sledging, snow ball fights. Everything is just covered. All the brown trees are now covered with a blanket of white. Snow is still falling so even the air is white.
I’ve been outside to fill bird feeders. Now the winter birds are covering the bird feeder.
Apples keep well and make pies in the winter. They are a good source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which is important to keep the human system running smoothly. Have a good day. Keep warm.
