So I have wolf run towns, cougar run towns, and a polar bear town, but dragon towns? Hmmm…
The chemo is getting to me. I did manage to do some yardwork, but I’m struggling to finish the book. I need to get my car safety inspected so I can renew my car registration today, but I’m hoping once that’s done, I can get to work on the book. I just feel horribly nauseous.
I’m off to pick up some of the clippings of the shrubs and liroipe grass I made yesterday now that it’s light out enough. But the temperature dropped and I’m cold!
Hope you are doing great!

I bought one for my daughter also a couple of years ago and for the first time, she also had chickadees in hers. Who knew it was perfect for the tiny birds! Though I might have had the chickadees nesting in the birdhouse last year, but I was in the hospital then.
Well, I almost have word count. I want to get it done today.
We had a ball for Easter Sunday. The kids were ready to go home when my grandson (4), saw the egg cartons I had out for them to use in the garden. He asked what they were for. We had a back and forth discussion–you can take them home and plant them. Mom–no, you can do it here. Then the grandkids wanted to do it right then and there. I was worried about their nice Easter clothes. So we got them all covered up, gloves on, dad carried the bag of dirt out for us, each grandchild had an egg carton, I had the seeds and hand shovels.
I had the grandkids fill up egg cartons with dirt that will dissolve in the ground, then add zinnia seeds, and then bury them completely with dirt in their flowerbeds. Then they took their cartoonish watering cans and covered them in water.
After we went inside, my grandson was watching out the back door and asked if the flowers had sprouted yet. lol Love the grandkids. They’re always so cute. But I love that they enjoy planting in the garden too. My granddaughter picked flower seeds that only showed hummingbirds and butterflies on them. If they had bees on them, she said, “Nope.”
Okay, I’m off to get some work done. I’m trimming back my sunshine ligustrum, should have taken a before picture, but doing like my daughter did with hers, making them more tree like. Then she plants underneath them. They are killing my grass off because of the lack of sunlight, and I have moss growing instead. But also, my side yard isn’t that wide, so they’re overtaking it. Luckily, I got all the branches I already cut last night bundled up and out to the trash this morning. But later, I’ll begin working on them again today.
Hope you have a beautiful day!

Getting ready to put out Easterish stuff for the hunt. We got 2″ of rain last night. We so needed it. With all the new plantings, it meant everything was thoroughly soaked. Yay!
Nearly at word count on the book! Woohoo!
Not feeling well though because of the chemo regimen again.
Off to get some stuff done! Hope your day is super fine!

I have 3 more plants to plant. I tried to plant them last night, but ended up digging up a fire ant tower, ugh, and yes, got bitten. So I’ll try today, or maybe plant in a different area. lol
Hope your day is filled with fun!

This is my bed and why do I have to share it with a lamb?
I’ll probably be put back on chemo pills today, not looking forward to it. And I have to wait 4 hours between appts to see the doctor, so I’m like the cat. Not very happy about it. Sitting in a hospital for 4 extra hours waiting to see the doctor is not only not fun, but with flu levels so high, it’s not safe for those of us with low immune systems. 🙁
Have a non-grumpy day! I’m trying to make mine non-grumpy by writing on the book and hopefully will get something done. Sometimes it’s hard to concentrate. But hopefully my blood counts will be higher today.

Your dogs want you up and then THEY go back to bed.
I should have taken a picture of this when the right side was a mess too. There are still some blackberry bush roots and vining plant roots in there, so I’m going to work on them this morning before it gets sunny.
Hope your day is filled with success! I felt really good about whittling this mes down to something that looks better. You can see the daylily, which was just overcome by weed plants, and the salvia started to bloom, the same way. The gloves I got from Amazon for thorns worked great. Both the vining plant and blackberry shrubs have tons of thorns. I’m thinking of putting some more salvia in there.

I took this photo at the San Diego Zoo. I’ve never seen a hippo underwater, so it was fun getting a shot of him like this. Think of it. You go swimming here and find him underwater? Highly dangerous. So no swimming! Don’t even think of dipping a toe into the water.
I’m still researching Bear in Pursuit, which is slowing me down. And of course I had to plant plants. No more buying plants. Now I just need to keep them alive.
Hope you swim only in nice safe places!

Okay, not a romantic at heart, says the lion jester.
I finally got the last plant planted, red esperanza. I was still trying to remove a couple of crepe myrtles. No success on the crepe myrtles. The roots go to China, and if you don’t get them all up, they just come right back. I love them, but they just sprout up everywhere.
I’m off to work on Bear in Pursuit. Nearly to 60K.
Have a lovely day, romantic or not!
