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.

Your counter garden sounds amazing!

What herbal uses does goldenrod have? I have some volunteers. What part do you harvest?

Every day has potential for either good or bad. Enjoy those veggies, winter is coming.

In response to "Think Just Another Friday"

I remember September gardens. No fear of frost and too many tomatoes.

Not a sunshiny day (or year) here in WMT. The rains moved in. The smoke moved out. Clouds linger. I can't say the weather has been pleasant.

That said, I should take an autumn walk.

Real life is so amazing. You are right.

In response to "Winter is on its way make it welcome"

In a small community there are consequences to anger and acting crazy but people still need to depend on each other. Every village has an idiot (sometimes beloved).

But in larger (or segregated) places where folks don't know nor depend on each other it's easier to get away with violence or hatred.

In response to "Merry Muppets"

I don't know much about the muppets either. I do guard my cookies though...

I seldom read my poems out loud. There's no audience that will shut up for 2 or 3 minutes to listen. I could make my own audio/video though.

I thought the moon was a lot smaller, actually... but no inclination to research. Hopefully someone that actually knows will post a comment.

We had three bad thunderstorms here in the last month. Very unusual for Missoula. It's like tornadoes off the Great Lakes... happens but seldom. I remember a black sky from my childhood with huge raindrops. Yep. A small tornado. Happened once a decade. One hit the Buffalo riverfront last month near where I once lived.

It comes on so quickly in August, it's summer and its not supposed to end yet. Autumn solstice is a month away.

In response to "Animals the fruit of the earth"

How wonderful! I like all animals, too. funny about the elephant mimicking the drummer. My cat is into my books and my cellphone, also. How lovely that you get to see wildlife where you are. Your account of chipmunks and the deer is so precious.

Aged contributions

Day 350 December 13, 2023

Prompt: "The desire to serve and contribute meaningfully to society does not fade with age."
Rachel Bayani

This is true. I find though, that it is difficult for me to add anything presently to any society around here. As long as we went to church there was always a way to bring aide in some way and continue to find ways to interact with other people.

I had a failed attempt a few years ago to join a library book club. So, basically, I stay home with my dogs and just get by day to day. If you get too far out of the loop people, make up their minds about you, whether they know you or not. a lot of elderly people are stagnant when it comes to social interaction. You have to actively seek interaction during aging.

Merry Christmas
