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.

Well said! "We can not always tell if what we hear or read is accurate."

In response to "What is resolved?"

Last year, I decided to skip making resolutions. Since my resolution was the perennial favorite "lose weight," I decided to simply do it. When I saw the doctor in September, she said I lost fourteen pounds in a year. So, who needs resolutions? Don't make yourself promises—just live and move forward.

In response to "Soundwaves"

My physical for work involved a hearing test every year. Even inside a sound proof booth, I could still hear the phone ringing at the front desk, even the toilet flushing. It used to frustrate him that my hearing was so acute. I still have amazing hearing.

I think it would be cool to be identified by sound waves.

In response to "remember this?"

I'll join you on the luge, it looks like it would be so much fun.

I remember loose piles of hay and using a pitchfork to feed the cows. I didn't like stacking the square bales. The round ones look difficult to move to me.

In response to "chocolate tea?"

In Thailand, coffee is often served with tea or hot water.

I remember chewing on stems from my child... haven't thought about that in a while!

In response to "Brrr!"

My water used to freeze quite often when I lived in Maine. I used to curl up with a book while the wood stove did its thing warming us up and thawing the water lines.

Wild about the red squirrel. I hope it survives the blizzard.

In response to "Always Move Forward"

The first step is usually the hardest but after that I find I can do more than I originally thought.

Daily Struggles

"The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."
Thomas Jefferson

Hi! "Despite the forecast live like its spring." by Lilly Pulitzer

.Because the prompt quotes Thomas Jefferson it proves what I believe. If you are fond of reading about the history of humans on the earth, you already know there has always been a struggle to survive.

We know because of Old Testament history that the type of struggle is between evil and righteousness.

Watching history you find keeping freedom available for large amounts of people takes a lot of maneuvering of laws and policing of peoples actions. We can not always tell if what we hear or read is accurate. Vigilance is a small price to pay for freedom. Vigilance has to be combined with action in a timely manner.

Spring is on its way.
