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.

I think it's amazing the crow family joins you. I have hummingbirds every day and I love watching them. Birdwatching is immensely enjoyable. I am grateful that we choose to visit each day.

In response to "Truly Autumn Now"

The temperatures have dropped here in Nevada too. There's a mountain we see in the distance, and it's already dressed in white. I think it's going to be an interesting winter, don't you?

Well, when you put it that way, I wouldn't want to go over the falls either!

There are many bills being proposed eliminating women's rights under this administration, including a woman's right to vote.

In response to "Dr. Suess"

Judith, Dr. Suess published his first children's book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street in 1937. During World War II, he took a brief hiatus from children's literature to illustrate political cartoons, and he worked in the animation and film department of the United States Army. My first experience with his work was How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which was published in 1957 and my grandmother bought it to read to me.

I dodge my granddaughters kitten more times than I want and I'm always worried about falling. We just don't bounce like we used to, do we Judith?

In response to "Autum Leaves"

Where I lived in Maine, raising my family was rural. I used to drive them into town so they could experience Halloween with their friends.

As a child, I always had to take my younger siblings, I couldn't go with my friends.

Just One Day at a Time

The question is are genetics a denominator in our life expectancy or do you believe environmental factors have more to do with life expectancy than genetics.

Hi:

I don't actually know much about how old my Grandparents were or any generation before them. Also, ignorant of health in family lines. Information was deliberately withheld by elders. If I ever asked I was denied the information.

I do know my dad was in his 90's. Once told he was 99. Do not know if this is true?

In any event I really believe, we should not dwell on DNA because DNA knowledge is still in its infancy, when it concerns science. Dwell on your own personal lifestyle. Dwell on known facts. The organic body we live in can even under the right circumstances heal itself. During WWII often people did not have the opportunity to eat proper nutritious foods. We know such situations cause stunted growth and short lives. So, lifestyle is important. Less war will help a lot of people live longer.

In the USA a lot of commercials are just pushing people to stress about medicine.
Turn off the TV and take a walk, watch a sunset develop, read an inspirational story. Make the life you have whatever time it contains a peaceful worthwhile time.

Some days I need to take my own advice.
