What Does She Have in Her Jar?

Oct4

So what does the little girl have in her glass jar? The rat thinks it’s food. The ravens want to steal it. The mice are curious. Are you?

I’ve been moving flagstones, pavers, and pebbles, all of which are heavy, clipped a hedge, pulled weeds. It’s cloud, still hot and muggy, but I’m trying to get something done outside.

But now I’m taking a cool break. My dog is panting, but he didn’t do an ounce of work!

Hope you have a wonderfully, perfect day.

When Friends Don’t Believe You Have Spooky Friends

Oct3

It’s that spooky time of year when some are decorating for Halloween, I just got a request to write a short story for an annual Halloween blog where you use a photo to base your story on, and I’m still working on Wolf Betrayed, at 61K.

I had my shingles shot on Wednesday, and the bone marrow biopsy under sedation this time, and started chemo again on Thursday and was soooo sick on Thursday. I’m sure it was the shingrex shot. But at least that was the second one. Still have one more pneumonia shot to go in February. They are giving me baby shots on it, so I have to have 4 of them instead of one.

And August, I’ll have the MMR. I hope they’re just one shot and not a ton of doses too! The stem cell transplant knocked out all of immunizations.

It still isn’t cool and it’s soooo muggy. Supposedly, it’s supposed to be 64 on Monday morning, so hope to get more yard work then!

Off to write!

Have a super fun day!

Deer Resting at a Loch

Sep28

I loved the fall colors reflected in the water. And way across the loch was a deer resting in Scotland.

I’m at 59,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Yay! I was able to plant my new chives and thyme in pots on my patio. Hopefully, they’ll survive there. They died where I had them in the same planter against the fence. I couldn’t get out in this heat to water and weed them, so hopefully with them being on the patio, I can take care of them even on these hot sunny days.

They will last through winter when we have mild ones.

It was cool enough in the morning that I was able to weed some too. But it is still getting to 97.

Okay, I’m off to work on the story!

Hope you’re cooling down if you’re living in a sauna zone!

Brown Bear in Minnesota

Sep24

I took the photo of him at the bear reserve in Minnesota. Then I mixer brush painted him in Photoshop.

Up to 54,000 words on Wolf Betrayal!

Still roasting!

Have a lovely day!

Vintage Truck in Fall

Sep22

I took the photo of the rusted truck covered in plants and trees at a fall festival in Omaha one year. I finally played around with it to create this–where the plants reclaim their world.

Here is the original!

Love vintage and rusted-out vehicles. They need some loving care.

I reached 50,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Didn’t think I would get any words yesterday, but they finally came to me last night.

Another scorching day.

Okay, off to write. Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday!

Midhope Castle Outer Building

Sep21

I loved the outer buildings, this one covered with moss and ivy in Scotland. Midhope Castle was where some of Outlander was filmed.

Trying to figure out a way to replant chives without losing them in all this heat this time. I moved the box from the garden where I couldn’t easily water it and weed it. It’s on the patio now where I’ve grown them before. So hoping I can take care of them there and they’re thrive. The grandkids love cutting chives for our mashed potatoes.

It’s going to feel like the 100s for several more weeks. Ugh.

Hope your weather is just right!

Orange Cat for Caturday!

Sep19

Cats are so elegant. Whenever I see one, out comes the camera.

I’m at 44,000 words on Bear in Pursuit! Minimum goal is 70K, so getting there.

I wanted to get out and do some weeding, but it’s sooooo hot constantly and all sun today.

Off to write in the cool! Have a lovely day!

Wishing for Rain…but Snow Would Be Nice too!

Sep18

Anything to cool down our sizzling weather. It felt like 107 on Tuesday, 104 on Wednesday, and 97 today, and 99 tomorrow and the next day. So it’s going mostly in the right direction. It’s around 74 instead of 80+ in the morning, so that’s good.

It was cloudy all day, so I got a lot of weeding and trimming done, but it was still 104 with the cloud cover. And the mosquitoes are awful. I wore bug repellent, but it didn’t last long. Plus, I moved a bag of dirt and it was covered by fire ants, so I got bitten.

But today, even though the high is 97, it’s going to be all sun, and that makes it feel even hotter.

Well, I’m off to write on Bear in Pursuit. I’m at 42,000!

Have a cooler day than us!

It’s SOOOO Hot Out

Sep12

This composite reflects the heat. lol

I’m on the last 4 chapters of proofing The Chosen Fae!

I want so badly to weed, but it feels like 107 today. And the mosquitoes are ornery. Killed two in the house last night, but one got his bite in before that and my whole wrist is swollen. They are vicious!

Okay, back to proofing the book!

Hope you’re getting cooler weather!

Storm Coming?

Sep1

Despite the heat, I’ve been getting some hedge trimming done. We might get some of the storm that’s brewing in the Gulf. I hope we get rain, but not wind! I need to run in and get some groceries before that hits us, if it does. I took this picture of the clouds from an airplane.

And I made it to 19,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Yay!

Off to get my day started. Hope yours is great and that we get rain!
