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. |

I feel I know more about the real Australia than I did before we started. I looked at Australia as a tourist. As we visited awesome natural sites I realized the deep feeling the Aboriginals have for this land. It is special to know there are people in different countries who have ancestry dating back thousands of years. They understand the natural world before technology took over society. I have viewed Australia through the lives of people who actually live there. They are the friendly willing people who encourage tourism not just for the money (very important to them) but also welcome people who do not live here, to show the style, beauty, and special aspects of this country. Only four days left in 2016 counting today. Prepare to welcome 2017. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
