Stunning Stork at the Dallas Zoo

Mar6

Love the big birds. They’re so elegant.

I’ve been doing lots of yardwork, trimming branches, and planting some hostas. I finished my taxes and have to work on the grizzly bear story.

I had to wash Max. He threw up this morning. He does that every once in a while and smells so bad. As soon as I brought out the portable dog bath, both dogs took off for the hills. lol But he smells nice and clean now.

Have a great day!!

Tufted Titmouse in My Backyard

Mar5

Original and artified. I love taking a photo and turning it into photoart.

I’m doing okay so far on the chemo. It’s been just 3 days so far.

I planted chives and crocuses yesterday, still cutting branches down.

Hope your day is great. One of my dogs threw up, smells awful, so I know what I need to do next. lol Not one of my goals for today.Off to wash him.

A Little Owl and Mouse Whimsy

Mar2

I’m working on taxes and started on chemo again today, so I needed a little whimsy in my life. These are clipart PNGs (owl, mouse and flowers) on the plate and painted backgrounds, some overlayed to give the painted effect through the window and on the wall. I do a lot of color coordinating also to make it feel more natural. It’s just a fun thing to do when I’m stressed out.

I also cut back more branches to clean the crepe myrtles up. Lots of work to go.

Hope you have some whimsy in your life!

Little Owl Looking up over His Shoulder

Mar1

It’s amazing how they can turn their head so far around on their body!

Yesterday, I did manage to get 1,000 words done, and I cut back on some crepe myrtle branches. Their trunks are so beautiful, but then they shoot up all kinds of new shoots, some that crisscross and wear on other branches, and this is the time to cut them back before the crepe myrtles leaf out and flower. I have a ton of them since they have volunteered in places where I didn’t plant them. Which is mostly everywhere. I only planted 5. The others have come from birds, I think, because they are different-colored flowers from the 5 that I planted.

They are beautiful, but I just have to keep after them a bit so they stay that way. They say to let them have trunks in a multiple of 3 or 5 or 7, that they’re more aesthetically pleasing to the eye that way.

I’m also cutting back Esperanza that died during the frost, but is coming back at the roots, and other flowering plants like that. Some made it through the frost, others didn’t, but they’re all coming back from the roots.

I’m off to write before I don’t have the chance to.

Have a fun-filled day!

Roadrunner

Feb28

This curious roadrunner was at the Fort Worth Zoo. I love how they’ll come up to you. I had a wild one at my home in Crawford, that would peek in the windows at me while I was typing away at a story. It made the most mournful calls, searching for a forever mate.

My blood tests were much better. If the mutation hadn’t come back, the doctor would have kept me off chemo. ugh. So I’m starting that back up on Monday. Feel great now. Doubt I will when I start the chemo.

Have a delightfully curious day!

Happy National Polar Bear Day!

Feb27

I’m off to write a little bit, but on grizzly bears, and then I have to go to Houston. Chemo? Or wait a couple more weeks? That is the question.

Hope you have a terrific day!

Hawk Owl at Wolf Park

Feb26

Injured hawk owl at the Wolf Park in Omaha. Beautiful bird.

Before it was really light out, I cut down some more crepe myrtle volunteers to put out with the trash. Ran off to get groceries and ship books. Now I’m back home, and it’s time to finally write!

Hope you are enjoying a bright and beautiful day!

Barn Owl at Cameron State Park Zoo

Feb24

Barn owl was recovering at the zoo. All the owls are in a black light room. They’re beautiful.

Eating a little more than usual this morning. That’s good. I need to gain weight. Especially after I start chemo again and won’t want to eat.

Okay, I’m off to write. Twenty-five thousand words to go! I thought of going in and running errands this morning, but it’s in the 30s again. Too cold for me. It’s supposed to warm up tomorrow. Yay!

Have a blast of a day!

Peahen and Her Chicks

Feb23

There were a whole bunch more chicks but I couldn’t get them in the shot because they were trailing so far behind. It was winter in Omaha at the zoo and there was snow on the ground.

I cut down a couple of small volunteer crepe myrtles. I need to do more. I’ve already cut down one that popped up too close to the house. The problem is they’ll grow right back so I need to keep after them. It turned out cold today, 36 this morning, so I had to bundle up.

Hope your day is going great! I’m off to write. I’m nearly at 44,000 words. Yay! Twenty-six thousand to go to get to my minimum word count. Yay!
