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. |
| We are in that quiet time. The time we sit and wait for the hay to come off the field. Then the unloading crew congregates in the barn and pulls 200 bails of hay off the wagon as quickly as they can. We are using baled hay so it has to be stacked properly so it can breathe and not get to hot inside the barn. The bales weigh average of 45 to 55 lbs. For us, now, we only do this kind of work once a year because we need the winter feed for the only 1 horse and 1 pony we still keep. Both, are not young animals any more but I still enjoy their company and they enjoy the long days of peace in the pasture since their work days are over for the most part. The BOXER I am dog sitting is going home later today. Her family is back from vacation and will be picking her up soon. I like big dogs but I only have a small dog now and having a larger dag around for a few weeks was fun. I found an article on www.sciencemag.org by Carolyn Graming about phytoplankton that cast particles and gases into the atmosphere above the oceans of the South that become the beginnings of clouds. The article is a study about atmosphere. |
