Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

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.

No the problem lies much deeper than that.

In response to "Spring Thoughts"

Yes, an orchard sounds nice. What apple varieties do you have? Any pears?

In response to "Just a Color Away From Perfect"

I don't think I knew that ink coloring pencils existed. I'll have to look into them. Unless you mean markers? I do have those.

You have a lovely mix of coloring books.

Hope you have a great day and that the rain / warmer weather melts enough snow and ice so you can safely get out of the house soon.

In response to "Spring Thoughts"

A fruit tree orchard is a dream of mine too. We do have a cherry tree but it's more ornamental than productive. I had planted some fig trees but an overzealous helper thought they were weeds and killed them.

In response to "Life Moves On"

We have robins and red-winged black birds all year here.

It's nice to have warmer temperatures!

In response to "Muffins and stories"

I have two ginger cats, both are male. Macavity is 11 and Pumpkin is 3. Both have very strong personalities.

My son raises chickens and this young kitten appeared out of now where one afternoon. My son saw the tail up following the chickens around. He didn't give it much thought because he figured it was the neighbors kitten. He discovered the kitten in the henhouse nestled in the hay with one of the chickens. He put it outside and shooed it away. Only to find it there in the morning, so he called the neighbor who said they didn't have any kittens.
The kitten did live long in the henhouse because once my grandson saw the kitten he became a member of the family. His name is Tom, he still hangs out with the chickens during the day but comes inside to get dinner and sleep with CJ.

I'm having trouble with Edge too, not letting me read everything I download as well. Annoying!

In response to "Poo Bear Too."

We had 3 sets of encyclopedias, 2 newspapers daily, one on Sunday. We didn't have many magazines and very few books.

So, I read a lot... just not much that was fluff or gossip.

I remember Prince Valiant. I like some political cartoons.

March and Speed

Prompt: Your speed doesn't matter. Forward is forward." Write about this in your Blog entry today.

Hi. Just a word about March madness, which was for yesterday. Yesterday spring was springing forth everywhere outside. Green everywhere, summer birds returning, I walked the dogs, because no ice. This morning woke up to a blizzard. Three inches of snow expected, temps dropped into teens. Truly March madness. Did you ever wonder why March is mad? I think it is because Spring is tromping on Winter during March.

As for speed not mattering. Since the day I turned 60 some people keep wondering when I will be old. The speed you age does not matter. What you use your time for does. Not always sure how to go about using time.

Just spread the word. No one is ever old everyone is aging from the time you are conceived, you age. No way around it that I know about. Death is a part of life; something new to experience in life. At the proper time of course. Life moves forward at its' own pace.

Apondia looking for Spring.

Tariffs?

How are the newly imposed tariffs affecting you? Did you realize how many products we use everyday aren't grown or created in the states or in Canada or Mexico ?

I do know a lot about where the food comes from that I eat. Bought avocados at a much higher price. We use a lot of eggs because I bake and cook a lot. Paid an atrocious price. And I was accosted by people who were against me buying the avocados I guess they thought I was unpatriotic because I was buying Mexican products. The people involved actually did not seem aware that avocados are good to lower cholesterol.

Does all this mean the USA is willing to encourage farmers in our country to grow Avocadoes and other products like different kinds of nuts that are a major import? What about the eggs and chickens? I know an egg farmer that is no longer farming chickens and eggs because of problems in the industry. We used to buy our eggs from his business.

Are tariffs the real problem?
