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.
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.
I'm happy tonight it is almost 5 p.m. and it is not dark outside yet. Winter has started but the days are getting longer.
I did not tour Melbourne yet but I will. Yesterday was a total day of shopping.
I enjoyed the 1000 steps it was a joy to walk up in all that growth of tree and plants. Did you see all the Lavender?
Another fun trip was the train ride. Sit still for two hours and watch as the mountain whizzed by and the children hung out the windows taking in all of the sites.
This year Carols by Candlelight started off a lot different than the one in 2015. I like the Christmas music and sharing it at a large gathering with Blue Moon, Princess Megan Rose, the Laughing Jay, Andre, Brother Nature, Hark the Herald Jaybird sings, Wolves Denning, AlyCat, Wakeup and Live---- and all the others I may not have mentioned has been a special Christmas treat.
