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.
My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.
my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.
I read this somewhere over the weekend. When does the word old start in anyone's life? Tomorrow, always tomorrow, never today.
I'm not sure how I will be able to blog in 2019. I have not even been on the computer often in two months. Still reading books though. finally got "The Presidents Missing" on kindle from the library. It's a pretty good who dun-nit. I think everyone should read the last chapter even if you are not interested in the whole story.
My afghan is almost finished one more row of motifs than crochet a trim. The last row of motifs are almost finished. Would be finished but, don'[t have a lot of sit still time to do the work.
Almost time to say good bye to 2018. And, hello to 2019.
Reorganized the house, threw out a lot of non essentials. Introduced a new kitten to the family. I'm wondering what kind of weather we will have in the next two or three months.
Took a course in plant Identification and using herbs for teas and salves. It's interesting how valuable those dandelions really are I have a recipe for dandelion wine. Very simple to make I need to find it.
