Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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.

Is this your first snow storm of this season? My cat loves to lay on my laptop while I'm trying to use it.

Turning the television off, staying off social media and going for a walk, and seeing a sunset are my favorite ways to keep myself balanced.

Yes, you do ... don't we all.

I think it's amazing the crow family joins you. I have hummingbirds every day and I love watching them. Birdwatching is immensely enjoyable. I am grateful that we choose to visit each day.

The temperatures have dropped here in Nevada too. There's a mountain we see in the distance, and it's already dressed in white. I think it's going to be an interesting winter, don't you?

In response to "Dr. Suess"

Judith, Dr. Suess published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons, and he worked in the animation and film department of the United States Army. My first experience with his work was How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which was published in 1957 and my grandmother bought it to read to me.

Just a Thought

“And (I) wondered how anyone could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth,” says Emily Brontë in Wuthering Heights,

Hi. I'm still around even though have not stopped in for a long few days.

It's been a long, long time since I read wuthering heights. Probably sometime in my late teens. It sounds like she was referring to death. I read something this year about a theory, that dying is not anything to worry about because you just fall asleep and don't wake up. It is interesting to find so many ideas about what happens when you die.

Do you ever wonder about how many people have died in the last 2000 years? So many interred into the earth. Some graveyards have been lost to time as well.
I guess humans visit this subject now and then because we think and wonder, about almost any subject from time to time. This brings on the need for mindfulness. I should revisit Wuthering Heights.

Merry Christmas.
