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.
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.
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.
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.
What is your happiest memory? Describe it in vivid detail!
Happy moments;
Happiest means the most. More than all the others. To describe the one over all the rest is not possible for me. I ran over a lot of different firsts and could not pull one out that was better. Maybe it's because giddy emotionalism isn't part of my nature. I have had a lot of first time things that made me smile inside. Maybe say look what I did?
When each of my children were born that was always a good time. I was fortunate. They were all healthy weights. More than one person thought I held my babies too much. I still wonder how much is too much? I liked each one of them. Each one has special thoughts lodged in my brain.
This is not the day for in-depth descriptions. Had my flu shot this morning. The freezer is almost defrosted. Two loads of clothes are washed and dried. And, it's a major bill paying day plus I need to make a grocery list. So, listing today's chores and saying that I will be majorly happy when at the end of this day I get some time to read and sit still will have to do.
