Bluebird ready to fly. A whole bunch of bluebirds, this one included, flew toward my living room window when I was writing a book. They were going under the eave, targeting yellow jackets building a nest. Instant bug control.
Now, if only they would work on the yellow jackets around here!
We had wild storms last night. Two inches of rain! We really needed it!
I planted some seeds while it was raining. It’s a great time to plant!
Hope your day is going great! I think the chemo is getting to me this morning. Feeling queasy. 🙁 It’s been a week on the chemo.

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!!

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!

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!

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!

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!
