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. |
| Where we live there are orchards and farms where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk. Many people fill there freezers and can their own foods. All summer we buy fresh strawberries by the basket, tomatoes to make canned tomatoes or tomato sauce. Apples are starting to mature. I just picked and ate the first tomatoes of the season from my garden. Fresh garden tomatoes have so much more flavor than the ones I buy in the winter from the stores, it is almost a different fruit. Soon there will be pears and peaches on the fruit stands or roadside vegetable stands. Sweet corn is ripe and easy to buy right now. Homegrown melons everything fresh off the vine has better flavor. I guess one of the foods we look forward to every year is Strawberry shortcake. It is fresh hulled strawberries eaten on biscuits with milk and whipped cream. Staying in the lodge will be convenient, clean, and I love to eat out so someone else does all the kitchen work. We changed from a hotspot to a satellite Dish today. As soon as the change came in Window 10 wanted to upgrade so I am moving right along getting used to the newest tech. I'm surprised how quickly the upgrade came into my computer. New, new , new,  I'm going to explore windows 10 now. |
