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.
It's hard for me to pick a favorite, too, but I also like and remember Robert Frost's "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening." That's the one I decided to memorize to recite to the class back in grade school. It still often pops in my mind. I think it's the easy rhythm and rhyme and the great description so well woven in. The only favorite book I remember is from way back also, "The Little Airplane." Maybe these are because I'm still a kid, even though seven decades later.
my phone does it all but I am constantly frustrated with the amount of text messages I received during the election and now with Christmas approaching. I'm spending too much time blocking numbers and reporting them as spam.
When I was a young Child, my dad pointed out a rainbow and told me people believe there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. He also said people have been looking for the end of the rainbow forever, but no one ever found it. I always remember that day and what he said.
So, as years passed whenever I saw a rainbow I would try to see where it began and ended.
Then, when I went to college, I took a course about weather. By this time, I already knew about the spectrums of color in the rainbow and that things in the Bible often refer to colors in the sky. And we learned in the college class the times after a storm or a weather shift in the atmosphere what causes rainbows. No symbols in the class just scientific fact.
Nevertheless, I have a habit when a rainbow appears of trying to find where it begins and ends. Have you ever driven through one?
Rainbows and Santa Claus will go on being part of folk lore.
