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. |
June will bring a lot of summer work my way. We have been blessed recently with lots of sunshiny days. I fixed my window by the monitor so I can see out but the sun can not knock out the screen. Now I find there is a very small chipmunk running around outside under the big cherry tree. It is stuffing itself with blossoms falling off the tree. Yesterday, it got into an argument with a rabbit over who would eat the most. Finally, they stopped arguing and just walked away from each other. It was quite funny. The rabbit was so much larger than the chippy. Chippy stood his ground. Nicely, there was no actual violence. The rabbit took a couple swipes but the chippy was very fast to jump out of the way and just kept hollering. Lucky chippy! Rabbits prefer veggies. |
