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.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
I knew about Ceasar, but was surprised to find out how far back that dates goes when it comes to disasters. It's no wonder Shakespeare went for that date
A Lavender Farm has to be an awesome place. Someone caught a honeybee gathering pollen in midflight in one of the pictures. They sell their own brand of lavender tea. Maybe there is lavender honey as well?
I can just imagine the heavenly odors in the air during harvest time. In one of the pictures it looked like harvesters in the fields. Maybe it was just tourists. It was a lovely place to visit. We use lavender soap to wash the dogs in the summer it really does keep off the fleas.
I am encouraging the planting of herbs this holiday in my family gifts. I am returning home today. We may have another family gathering if the weather does not snow on our plans.
I wish everyone who reads my blogs and all the 30-Day Challenge bloggers a Happy New Year. May 2017 bring peace and prosperity to everyone. Happy Blogging.
