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. |
Tuesday, December 15, 2015 Last Chapter (I think) for Brother Nature’s Muse Blogs in December. Judith and the muse:   When I crawled out of my snug sleep habitat and looked out of the window I was dismayed at the extreme dark. The black clock numbers read 7:15 a.m. Where did the light go I wondered. Then the muse nudged my brain. In 6 days it will be the 21st day of December. December Solstice will come to Erie, Pennsylvania on December 21, 2015, at 11:49 P.M. I celebrate the Solstice day as well as the Birthday of the Christ. Because it is the shortest day of light, of the year. Every new day from the 21st will be slightly more light each day. It will be about 2 minutes and 8 seconds of more light each day. You can find the trigonometry facts, that have to do with the alignment of the earth’s axis and the place on the earth where you live on www.QuickandDirtyTips.com an article by Jason Marshall who is also on Facebook and Twitter. I celebrate light today because we need it to maintain mood and health.  Thank the internet. In early years of 2000 I learned about the affects of light on people at this time of the year. In the Northern part of the USA, we sometimes equate our down mood with the holidays. Many times it is really a seasonal dysfunction brought on by lack of enough light waking up our brain functions. You can read all about the affects by going to www.mayoclinic.org and putting light therapy in the search box. There are kinds of light gadgets you can acquire to help your mood at all kinds of prices of course. I cure mine by sitting under florescent light while I read in the winter. If I had known all this information years ago I would have saved a lot of days down because of mood. Light also has an affect on aging, jet lag, acne, and night time work schedules. This is a great time of year to celebrate Light. Christmas Peace to all who seek it.   ![Merit Badge in Andres Banana Bar
