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. |
Season's Greetings!  The people praying for snow so Peak n Peak can open have received an answer. The snow started yesterday evening and continues. There is about 4 inches in back yard. Not a lot of wind though and it seems to drift down without being driven. According to the weather person, it will slow down soon and start melting away by Monday.  I found this quote from Josiah Gilbert Holland (1819-1881) He was a medical student, teacher, and editor of Scribner's Monthly. God give us men! A time like this demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; men who possess opinions and a will; men who have honor;men who will not lie; men who can stand before a demagogue and damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog in public duty and in private thinking. (As in scripture, today we define men as male and female)    6 days to Christmas/2 days to the winter solstice in Pennsylvania Christmas Peace to everyone apondia#1781748 apondia#1781748 |
