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 a small community there are consequences to anger and acting crazy but people still need to depend on each other. Every village has an idiot (sometimes beloved).
But in larger (or segregated) places where folks don't know nor depend on each other it's easier to get away with violence or hatred.
We had three bad thunderstorms here in the last month. Very unusual for Missoula. It's like tornadoes off the Great Lakes... happens but seldom. I remember a black sky from my childhood with huge raindrops. Yep. A small tornado. Happened once a decade. One hit the Buffalo riverfront last month near where I once lived.
How wonderful! I like all animals, too. funny about the elephant mimicking the drummer. My cat is into my books and my cellphone, also. How lovely that you get to see wildlife where you are. Your account of chipmunks and the deer is so precious.
Prompt: Christmas in July. Do you do anything that is Christmas related in July?
When Christmas in July comes around, I always think of starting the gift buying for the real season of Christmas. Whenever I can start shopping for the season early, I'm really happy. I always thought that is why manufacturers started Christmas in July. To try to cut down on the last-minute rush of shoppers at the weather inhibiting shopping time of the year.

Use these words in your blog: cart, hierarchy, warm, predator, institution, block, mix and think. Have fun!
The hierarchy of institutions can be predatory. A human predator is often difficult to spot. Cart out the think part of your brain. When the weather is too warm, we lack the initiative to listen and sometimes block our intuition. Mix up the air with a fan or some other cooling apparatus. (The last three days are heavy with heat and thunderstorms. The weather this year has been uppsy doosy. Just got an email from the electric company about not using to much electricity because of the heat. I'm trying to decide if a load of wash, two running fans and the computer are classified as too much for one afternoon. Interesting choice of word list. Keep Cool.)
