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.
One of the problems with media these days is that the audience expects instant news and analysis. Extra points ($$$) if the headline is outrageous. The old adage "think before you speak" isn't honored, neither is fact-checking nor truth.
I knew about Ceasar, but was surprised to find out how far back that dates goes when it comes to disasters. It's no wonder Shakespeare went for that date
I like to color. I have some coloring books. One is mandalas, one is wildflowers which is a book to identify different wildflowers, one is stained glass designs, somewhere I have a biology one for identification of different biological species. I also have a bird book about how to build birds that fly like paper airplanes only different species of birds and of course you have to color them because they are made from the scratch.
Coloring can be soothing if you are stressed. I like the ones about identifying species of any type because you learn as you color.
I prefer ink coloring pencils, but I have crayons and colored pencil sets too.
Have a great day. The dogs and I are still house bound because although the weather is warmer and easier to deal with. The house and driveway are ringed with deep ice, which is difficult to navigate, although I do travel across it to fill the bird feeders.
