A Little Whimsy for Monday

Jul27

Deadly Misfortunes is set in Texas and they have a booth at one of the fairs a couple of times in the story. They might not have a circus atmosphere, but this still reminded me of the fun of the fair.

I’ve been writing non-stop on Deadly Misfortunes. I love when that happens. I was really working on it until late last night, couldn’t quit. I’m getting closer to the end. It’s up to 77,000 words. I would be working on it this morning, but I have to go in for blood work, ugh.

Learned the kids go to school in two weeks. For some reason, I thought it was closer to four weeks. So my granddaughter and I have to get all our swimming out in that time. Pool closes, despite the heat, when the kids go back to school. Lifeguards go back to school is the reason.

Stay cool!

Deadly Misfortunes–Still Trying to Reach the END

Jul26

Yesterday, I wrote 6,000 words on Deadly Misfortunes! And reached my minimum word count goal. Now I just have to finish it!

Taking my grandson to the pool this morning. It will feel like 95. I’m trying to teach him to swim without a life jacket. He’s doing pretty well.

Off to work.

Have a cool day!

Red Crepe Myrtle

Jul23

I have only one red crepe myrtle and it always blossoms late. My daughter has a different red crepe myrtle variety and hers is the same thing.

Working on Deadly Misfortunes. Only need 6,000 words!

Granddaughter arriving momentarily. We’re going to the residential pool. It felt like 116 yesterday, feels like 95 right now. So swimming is the only way to go!

Have a beautiful day!!

Giraffe and Antelope?

Jul20

Taken at one of the zoos I had visited. They were so cute–both with long skinny legs, long skinny necks, but one is tall and the other is small.

I’m at 62K, working toward 63K on Deadly Misfortunes. Having the grandkids all weekend meant no writing. I still have my granddaughter all week, but we have a lot of fun. And I have to say, after being so sick most of last year and barely able to see the grands, I’m so glad things are more back to normal. 🙂

Hope you have a delightful day!!

Max When He Was Little, Thinking of Escape

Jul19

Max, the Havanese, was only a year old when I took this picture. He wasn’t supposed to leave the backyard. A few times, the dogs got out, but Max would really run off. Tanner wouldn’t. Even though he’s the alpha of the two, he would stay near me or come when I called. Inside, Max is always on my lap, so it was interesting how different they were when outside.

Now, at 11 years of age, they will go out to greet the family, but come right back in. I haven’t tried to have them in the front yard with me without a leash. If they see another dog, they’ll go after him. If it’s small dogs, one lady had 5 small dogs she walked, my dogs will want to meet up with them. But someone had a big dog and they tried to chase it off. Ugh.

I had the grandkids overnight so we’re going to the mailbox, grocery store, and then to the pool for a couple of hours. We’ll have lunch at the pool.

Hope your day is going great!!

When Photos go Missing…

Jul16

I was going to share a picture of a Mexican lizard I had taken photos of, but they’re gone! So I must not have clicked on the phone hard enough. ugh. I had really focused shots of him while he stayed really still too. If I’d taken them!

We’re going to the pool today. I finally got approved to go in. It will feel like 94 today, so perfect time.

I’m up to 56K, 14K to go for minimum word count on Deadly Misfortunes. So getting there!

Hope you are staying cool!!

Little, Medium, Giant

Jul13

The Black Eyed Susans in all kinds of sizes! Little itty bitties, medium, and giants! I’ve never seen them like this. It’s the 2nd year for them, so maybe that’s why.

Today is blood test day. ugh. Wish they would make it every other week. Up to 52,000 words on Deadly Misfortunes!

Have a lovely day!!

White Crepe Myrtle in Bloom!

Jul12

All the crepe myrtles in my backyard are volunteers except for the Purple Magic. So these were all planted by birds.

Usually, I like colorful flowers, but I love this white one too. It’s very showy.

I’m up to 51,000 on Deadly Misfortunes. I’m excited about getting closer to the end. I started back to the beginning and was adding a few things that were important throughout, so it takes longer to write, than if I was just writing straight scenes.

We got an inch of rain, woohoo! We so needed it. Most days, we get notifications about approaching thunderstorms, and nothing happens, so I was glad we finally had rain. Same thing with today. 2-6 pm, thunderstorms predicted. Will they happen? Only time will tell.

Hope the weather isn’t too bad in your area!!!

Pink Pom Pom Zinna

Jul10

I don’t know what they’re really called, but that’s what I call them. I love all zinnias, but these kinds are my favorite.

Off to write some more. I’m at 48K, wanting to get to 50K today.

Hope your day is fine!

Zinnia

Jul8

Butterflies and bees love the zinnia flowers. Even though they are annual flowers, I save the seeds and plant them in the spring.

Well, my lousy bedroom alarm clock told me it was an hour later than it was. I’m dressed, ready for blood work, and when I put on my watch and saw my computer clock, realize it was an hour earlier. Ugh.

Hope you are having a better day than mine. Hopefully mine will get better. lol
