Baby Mockingbird in My Backyard

Feb20

All fluffled up and ready to be a big bird now.

Usually when I see an ad for something, I’m skeptical, right? But I checked on Amazon and they had a wax for wood that looked like it might really help with revitalizing my front door and some older wood pieces of furniture. A couple of years ago, some salesman came to my door and said they refinished doors for $300-$400. So what could it hurt to try an $8 bottle of wax?

I was feeling better yesterday for the first time in a long time, so I washed the door over and over, and boy was it dirty. Then I coated it with the wax. I’m going to put a second coat on today. I don’t know if it will last really well, but even with one coat, it looks great. After I finish the 2nd coat today, I’ll share pictures tomorrow.

I also had a spot on my desk where the finish was ruined when I put an alcohol pad on top of tissue on my desk when I was flushing out my picc line. It took the finish right off. So I applied a little oil to that one spot. It still is damaged but it looks sooo much better.

I ordered some stuff to repair my recliner’s footrest. It’s vinyl and the dogs sit there all the time. So they’ve worn it off. It’s for leather and vinyl and everyone’s photos look so good that I’m going to try it out. It hasn’t come in yet, but I’m eager to work on it and I’ll show before and after pictures whether it works or not.

Okay, I’m off to get ready to write. I’ve taken off the last two days, but I want to get back to it.

Rooster in Charge, Taken at Brenham

Feb19

Rooster in Charge, shot the photo of him at a writer’s retreat at a cabin in Brenham, TX where they had hens, fresh eggs, a silly old cat, deer roaming through the place, cattle, calves and goats. They also had a bird watching blind, a water feature and tons of birds to photograph. It was fun.

I haven’t gotten much writing done the last couple of days, so I’m going to try to get somewhere with it again.

I learned the cancer is still in remission BUT that they have new technology that is more sensitive to see really small cells and learned that I have a couple of mutations. Which isn’t good. But I’m glad they discovered it. They’re taking me off chemo for a month to try and get my blood counts up after reducing the inhibitor that keeps me from rejecting the donor transplant and then start the chemo again. The hope is when my counts are up, THEY will fight the mutations. Once I’m on chemo, it will knock my blood counts down again. *sigh*

Hope you have a wonderful day!!! I’m off to immerse myself in the world of grizzly bear shifters.

Curved Horn Goat

Feb17

I took the photo of the goat at the Dallas Zoo. I love their horns, but I thought it was cool that he has a backrest for them because they are so long.

I’m still plugging along at the book, getting 1,000 words per day. Would like to go back to 2,000 words a day, but just not getting there.

I planned to vote this morning for the candidates in the midterm elections, but ended up having something else I had to do first thing in the morning for the next couple of days. I probably will do it on Thursday. Friday morning, I’m having the dogs groomed. I’ve been combing them out daily, but they really need baths too and trimmed faces and paws. Right now, I get so fatigued that it’s hard to wash them, and I can’t ever trim them.

I’m off to work on stuff. Hope your day is lots of fun!

All Ruffled Up

Feb16

I love it when birds fluff up their feathers, giving them a more 3-D appearance. The macaw was beautiful. Photo of the bird taken at the Dallas Zoo.

Finally pulled out my camera to take photos of the birds landing on the feeders. Everything was foggy and I was afraid it was my eyes because chemo can do that, but it was the window. lol. Cleaned it really well and now I can see the birds.

Hope your day is extra fine!

Sandhill Crane at the Dallas Zoo

Feb15

A big bird with a tiny fish in its beak. The next one will be bigger, I’m sure. This is just a snack.

We had two inches of rain yesterday during the thunderstorms. We had been under a tornado watch, then a warning, so it was good when everything moved into the Gulf of Mexico.

I’m a little over halfway done on the book. So off to write.

Hope when you catch the “big one,” it’s bigger than the crane’s!

Black Crowned Night Herons–A Mated Pair!

Feb14

Happy Valentine’s Day. Took the photo of them at the Houston Zoo.

Hope you are having a swell day! I had to go to the grocery store for a prescription and it was filled with people even that early, shopping for flowers and Valentine’s treats. Off to write! I’m at the halfway point on Bear in Pursuit.

Myna Bird in Hawaii

Feb13

Myna Bird in Hawaii. My, what big eyes you have. The bird was so far away on this rooftop, atop a pillar, that I couldn’t tell what it was until I cropped the picture to show off the bird. Such a cute expression.

Well, I managed to finally write about 2,000 words yesterday. I think I had been experiencing chemo fog before that because it was a real struggle to come up with scenes. I’ve felt better the last couple of days, as far as fatigue goes, but the broken toe still really hurts. I think because I’m feeling better, I’m doing more, and the toe hurts more. *sigh*

Have an astounding day!
