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.

Concerning Cinn & Charlie we should be cautious. Better to be wise even when you look silly. I would talk to a ranger. Do you know which way they went? We could at least search around the camp but be with a buddy. Do they answer to whistles?*Rolleyes*

The Alum Fire has progressed to 6150 acres. So far Visitors are just on alert and rangers have formed an evacuation plan but no one has to move or leave yet. If the phones work here there is a 24 hour hot-line for information: 307-344-2117. The other two fires in Yellowstone are much smaller and not progressing as fast. Firefighters from Canada have arrived to help. (News from the 18th)

I never saw a wildfire, forest fire,etc. except on t.v. but I accidentally started a yard fire one day. It was fall, the grass was dry, I was surprised how fast it spread and how high it jumped. I put it out with a water hose. After watching News broadcasts about fires in California I think I would rather not have to fight one.
