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.
Prompt: If you look the right way, you can see the whole world is a garden. Write about this in your Blog entry today.
HI:
People are drawn to plants. Most large cities have parks, and gardens attached to zoos.
The garden of Eden holds a special place in our imagination. The word Eden is derived from a Jewish word which means delight.
Small towns across the USA plant trees along streets.
At my home I can look out on a forest which always shows the circle of life. There are numerous varieties of plants and trees. All are planted by bees and birds that feast on the seeds. Seeds are scattered by critters and breezes. They grow where they land.
When a tree or bush dies out it usually leaves seedlings in its' wake which grow up, and produce more seeds.
Just walking through a small forest place can be an eye-opening experience if you count species. We have golden rod, lilac, wild strawberries, a beaver dam which contains marsh grasses for deer, wild geese, ducks.
If people do not mow and clear and clean yards or fields this earth garden will just over run the land in a short number of years.
The whole world is a garden we just inhabit small parts of it at various times.
I'm giving "I write" a try. Sometimes I can write and sometimes not sure. Anyway, the goals are interesting. I like having something to work toward.
Also, I'm looking for different contests to see what I can find; writing a lot of different things.
My garden will be better this year. I started plants on time and now it is time to put out seedlings. Might even get a start on the new orchard? Not sure about that yet.
