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.

Inherit fruit

Prompt:
"Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light," said Theodore Roethke.
What do you think he meant and can this keeping the light in roots apply to human beings?

HI! I found this on Bing through Pinterest from Instagram.com: "Have so much light that the plant grows toward you."

Maybe he (ROETHKE), equated light with the energy needed to grow.
Plants store energy and nourishment in their root systems.

Human root systems are, what they learn about life, as they age. It is the knowledge we draw on to make life decisions.

Store light for everyday living. Always keep enough light stored, so, as you walk, the path is illuminated.

See Ya.
