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. |

Congratulations on your virtual blogging adventure!](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-BCoF_2-1901868_14.gif) I cannot answer today's BCoF question because I don't know the answer. I have 3 rescued dogs, 3 rescued cats, and a cockatoo, a rescued Senegal, and 3 rescued parakeets. I have always had pets and livestock. I don't keep livestock any more. Watched some of the Equestrian events, made me wish I had a horse again. Once, years ago, I went to the woods and sat under a tree beside a little stream. Two chipmunks came and played on my outstretched legs and feet. A doe deer came and took a drink on the other side of the stream. She stood watching me then meandered into the trees. We always have deer eating under the apple trees in the front yard. Animals think. They think or have habits like whatever species they are. I like all of them, We have wild rabbits living in the yard, and not unusual to see a woodchuck, or squirrels, or neighborhood cats. At night there are owls that fly in and sit in the trees. It's a farm so lots of wild life living in the nearby woods. My parrots sing along when I am practicing my music. If we have a bad storm with thunder and lightning I play music to keep them all calm and peaceful. We have a new game called Doggy Olympics. I throw toys for both younger dogs at the same time they bring them back. Christmas I bought this funny ball. It makes oinky noises when it rolls. Drifter and I play soccer with it in the living room. I grew up with pets. I lived here as a child and here I still am. I was on Facebook yesterday and saw an elephant mimicking a man. . The man had a drum and would play it several strokes with drum sticks. Then the elephant would play the rhythm on the drum with its' trunk. Have you ever heard the song, "Bless the Beasts and the Children"? Always an adventure. I slowed down in July. Very hot weather Making some changes in the house and just keeping everything clean and cared for has been keeping busy. Plus I am reading a lot this summer. God Bless you all for still being around when I am able to get online to visit. |
