Female Goldfinch on the Backyard Feeder

Feb6

She’s trying to decide which wild bird seed she’s interested in.

Well, I have some good news. My initial biopsy results are clear. Waiting on the microscopic ones to come out in a couple of weeks.

I’m off to work on the book! Hope your day is filled with wonderful things.

Predator on the Lookout for Lunch

Feb5

I love hawks, falcons, eagles. This one I shot at the Dallas Zoo.

Well, all my blood counts have dropped. I’ve been so out of breath and fatigued, but now I know why. We left at 6:30 am to go to MD Anderson, and then didn’t get home until 8 pm. I was so worn out. I had 7 appointments and thankfully, my daughter took me because I had to get a bone marrow biopsy. I’m so sore. I had to get platelets. If my hemoglobin doesn’t rise next week, I’ll have to get blood. They took 14 vials of blood from me. I’m already low on blood. lol

Hope your day is super fun!

Blue Jay and Red Bellied Woodpecker Showdown

Feb4

Who wins? The woodpecker is a juvenile and the blue jay normally doesn’t bow down to other birds. So what do you think? The woodpecker won. Sometimes, even if you’re the downtrodden little guy, the underdog, you still can make a difference.

Today is the bad, terrible, awful day. Yep, time for another bone marrow biopsy. It’s been about 5 months since I’ve had one, so much better than every month. But they’re awful, painful, and hurt for a couple of days or longer.

Got to run. Hope you have a fantastic day. Mine will be great once this is over. I have 5 other appointments also. Ugh.

Gnus Munching on Grass

Feb2

Gnus were in Omaha. I wish my son still lived there. I had so much fun going to their zoo and wildlife reserve and all the parks and hiking trails, museums, etc.

Brrr, cold 35 this morning. But it will get to 60 today. Yay. Tomorrow will be 70! Even better. I would be happy to have 70 degrees year-round. lol

I managed to write another 1,000 words on Bear in Pursuit. I usually can get 2,000 words, but struggling to get 1,000 words right now per day. But I’m happy with how it’s coming along.

Hope you have a fun day!

Warbler Juvenile Learning to Fly

Feb1

I love them. I thought it was a very fat butterball goldfinch, until I realized it was a warbler. I got really close to her. She wasn’t sure about flying away. Really pretty little bird.

I finally managed a 1,000 words on Bear in Pursuit yesterday, hope to do more today. I’m kind of stuck on where to go on it.

Have a beautiful first day in February! It’s cold here!

Hippos Having a Mud Bath

Jan28

Anytime is a good time for a relaxing mudbath. I took the photo of the hippos in Omaha.

Today I have to get blood tests and see how the chemo is affecting me. I’ve been feeling awful for 4 days, so I’ll let them know.

Hope your day is great!

Female Cardinal in My Backyard

Jan27

Brrr, it’s cold. I’m just worried about the roads when I need to go to appointments tomorrow. I’ve been feeling poorly for the last 3 days. I think it’s the chemo pills.

TRAFFIC ALERT: The flyover ramp on I-10 westbound to SH-99 northbound is icy. Officials say an 18-wheeler had to reverse all the way back down and another 18-wheeler is still stuck at the top. Please be careful on the roads!

This is one of the roads I have to use to get to and from Houston. But there are several overpasses like this. Even if I go to the Woodlands, I have to take one of these to reach the hospital. It’s scary.

Stay safe! Stay warm!

Doves of Hawaii

Jan26

We didn’t lose our electricity!

Not feeling really great. Chemo, probably. I only managed to get a 1,000 words on Bear in Pursuit yesterday. I wish I felt better!

Hope you’re staying warm if you are in the frigid cold. It’s 24, feels like 14. Brrr.

Woodpeckers Courting

Jan21

It’s kind of hard to see, but the male has his head turned to the left, and the female down below has her head turned to the right. She’s “ignoring” him, but really, she wouldn’t be that close to him if she wasn’t interested. They had been racing up and down the tree before.

So cute.

Well, we might have 3″ of ice this weekend. It’s not bad today. We do have rain for today but it’s going to be around 60 degrees. I’m glad because I have blood work to do and didn’t want to have to cancel on that.

I did manage to get 1600 words done on Bear in Pursuit yesterday. Not sure what I’ll do on it today. When I have appts, I usually get behind.

Hope you are doing well!!

Where’s the Water?

Jan20

Cardinal in my backyard.

We are supposed to get ice and sleet this weekend, so I need to bring out my water warmer for the fountain to keep it flowing for the thirsty birds.

I managed 3,000 words yesterday. Which is good, considering I didn’t think I would get anything written. I just wasn’t feeling well. I feel better this morning, at least. 🙂

Hope you are having a fun day!
