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.

In response to "Coincidence!"

I'm very concerned that more experienced people are being replaced in every dynamic of our society and that more and more incidents will occur. I'm at a loss as to why neither of their radar detected the other's presence. And how much the radio chatter was a distraction.

I am very sorry for all involved, their lives were taken too soon.
As I write a response to you a private medical transport plane crashed in Philadelphia Friday evening. The first responders are dealing with a fire as the result of the crash. Did you know there was a small plane crash last week in California and another one in Nevada.

In response to "Pine Woods"

I wish I had a dog or cat or pet. Maybe if I rented from someone who had them I could travel and then come home to my friends.

In response to "winter wonderland"

My family buried secrets. I'll never know the answers to at least two events that apparently traumatized me as a child. I'm still bitter about that. Yes, I know I should let go; but, they colored my life for most of it.

Unfortunately, I do the same.

In response to "Favorites"

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.

In response to " Dependency"

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.

People Ask Question You Need Answers

Motivational Monday! Flemish mapmaker Gerardus Mercator was born on this day in 1512. What's been your reasoning behind going anywhere you once thought before you'd never get to?

I never thought I would write poetry. Then, I started writing on

. I learned some things about Haiku. Then, I learned some more in a New Horizons Course about reviewing. Then, I took a course just about writing poetry and learned a lot there, so I'll never be a great poet but it surely is a great way to express yourself.

I wish I had taken Map-making in college. They had a course there but, I couldn't fit it in to my schedule.

I followed my Airforce husband (he is now deceased) to the Panama Canal Zone where he was stationed in 1960's. It was a beautiful place. The social aspect was so different than the USA. It was not nearly so regulated a life style as it is here. I wonder how a map maker would fair in the jungles of South America.

I guess as a Pennsylvania farm girl riding ponies on rural roads I never thought I would get to study dressage and show horses on the A show circuit in Texas, when I was in my twenties, or study to be a professional dog groomer, or become a journalist.

The clue in this prompt is the word reasoning. I can't profess to actually reasoning about learning the many things I've accomplished. Or, visiting the many places I visited. I just found myself in a position to choose to do some things so I grabbed opportunities.

I never actually went on a real fox hunt. I would like to. I would like to learn map making. I would like to train another companion dog. I probably will not get to do all the things that pop into my head but, I will forge onward toward just following adventure where I find it. It's never to late to learn something new or visit a place you have never been. Life is a journey don't be afraid to travel on.

Happy Trails.
