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. |
When you think of the midnight hour, what comes to mind? I should be sleeping, the song In the Midnight Hour, the clothing line MidnightHour, the witching hour, is midnight a new day, I'm burning the midnight oil. It's your blog, tell us what comes to your mind. It's such a fun word, have fun.  Creepy! To me the midnight hour is when one day ends and the next day begins. Mostly nothing special. Unless there is a reason I won't be up at midnight. If I'm reading a good book sometimes, I make it to eleven. But I get up to feed and put dogs out at 4 or 5 a.m. and rarely go back to sleep after that so lights out for me can be as early as 7 or 8 p.m. since I'm not good at taking naps. If you read a lot of church history, you find some odd ideas in days gone by. Those ideas still linger in some types of cult attitude. Some people {King David for one} would get up and study at midnight, have parties, eat late night meals, do business then go back to bed and sleep late into the morning. Some church beliefs followed this in Europe in earlier years. I Read about it in a church history a long time ago can't recite the years involved. It is still a cult idea in some circles. Also, along with this can be people who don't believe in sleeping at all. Much of this comes from the Old Testament. This goes along with Kabbalah, and other types of cult routines. It can also extend to the people who don't believe in speech but, believe in conversing mentally. Phillip K Dicks wrote a science fiction story about these people. And they were also mentioned in the last book of the "Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" I'm not sure, was it called the "Last Battle?" Have to look it up, I guess. Some of these things creep me out because I don't believe in numbers, colors or other ways to manipulate people mentally. K and I fight about these things. Things like this come up when reading Histories that pertain to church, wars, and spiritual information's. Books like the Zohar were written before the Christ showed up on the earth. The internet gives access to ancient ways to curse people and other creepy ideas which often involve the midnight hour, satanism, and witchcraft. I know too much about this kind of thinking to tell it all in one blog, so I'll just drop it for now. Any way if I was going to quote things, I would have to look it up, and the book titles, and authors who wrote about it. Have a good day, keep safe. |
September Days:  Reference: https://www.thespruce.com/reasons-to-celebrate-in-september-4178816 September is 30 days of celebration. Sometimes a cool down from August summer heat. Some of the holidays listed in the reference are: Eat an extra dessert Day / National Cheese Pizza Day / World Coconut Day / National double cheeseburger Day every day on the calendar has something listed. Most of the celebrations have to do with food. There is a winter storm warning out on the web which says a particular part of the USA will get heavy snows and dangerous stormy weather this winter. It has been quite a few years since we experienced any kind of heavy snow. In any event we will be as ready for winter this year as any other year. Today's weather is definently cooler than August, at least today. The goldenrod is in bloom. A beautiful golden yellow border between the mowed hay fields and the forests. I should bag it and sell it by the pound. It is an herb and grows wild here. It has a host of uses and can be made into a tea or oil or just eaten raw. By the end of this month, we may be finished with lawn mowing for the year. Lawnmowing will be replaced with snow plowing if we really get a lot of snow. The last two years we did not plow because the snow was not heavy, and it would quickly melt. I'm thinking of Christmas presents though, I like to get my shopping done early. September for me is a cross over month. Good-bye to summer Hello to Autumn. Actually, the trees are already losing their leaves which isn't quite normal. Have a good day, whatever September brings. One day at a time. |
