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 just put the Begonias out on the porch. Every year I try to grow them as house plant, then out they go in the late spring. I like begonias. There are lots of varieties and colors. I break pieces off the stems and bury them. They root and grow more begonias. Basically, if I grow it, it has to be easy. Gardening is not my talent but if I water, fertilize and plant at the right time I can usually grow something. I especially like to have flowers growing in the summer.
There really is not anything that tastes as good as home grown produce. It is a lot of work but lots of rewards follow the labor.
It is suppose to rain this evening. After a week of sunshine and heat rain will be welcome.
I'm doing some special summer cleaning so its time to get busy.
