Photo Art–Time to Reflect

Jun30

The background is a combination of my clouds, the gray heron, and water and grass I took, another with rocks and then added two more herons and the boy on his horse from Lynne Anzlec’s Designs on Oscraps. I also added more lighting and darkening and color to the scene.

Okay, so I’m back to the book. Yesterday was a wild day–tried to return the power washer to UPS but if you don’t check UPS on the return and leave it checked on Kohls, which it had automatically has it set at, you’re stuck having to drive all the way out there. The good news was that I managed to get there and find some clothes on sale and they gave a $5 coupon for just dropping off an Amazon product. And I managed to get home ahead of the really bad storm.

Though when I picked up my granddaughter, it caught up with me. It was a deluge.

I edited to the end of the book, but it’s really not the end. I need to finish this. Maybe by this weekend. Hope springs eternal.

And my son-in-law tried to get the new scanner to work, but it didn’t. He said this time it wasn’t my fault. lol I had done everything he had done. So it’s going back today, but this time I checked UPS. Otherwise it had to go to Whole Foods. I have no idea where that is. I need to get groceries too and maybe if we don’t have a lot of rain this morning, I can walk to where there’s a field of flowers I want to photograph. But mainly, I want to write and finish this book!

Hope you all have a truly wondrous day! I’m off to get my going!

This is ebook only for now! My publisher is working on two separate print anthologies for 8 novellas.

Okay, decided to ship back the high pressured water cleaner that is softer than the nozzle on my hose! They have all kinds of warnings about not hitting people with this hard spray. Ha!

Anyway, so you know how it goes. Trying to get something disassembled and then having it FIT back in the way they had it? Ha!

lol Okay, off to mess with the scanner I bought that isn’t working. I may be returning it also.

Have a super great day!!! Mine is off to a rocky start!

Picture of a Puzzle–Alice in Wonderland

Jun28

My daughter loves Alice in Wonderland, so she finished this puzzle and I had to take a picture of it.

At Sunset

But it’s hard to find stuff that isn’t just the Disney version. Still, this was fun. We had thunderstorms that chased us out of the pool yesterday and we had them on and off throughout the day. Normally, it’s not my day to take care of my granddaughter, but she wanted to go home with me so we had lunch, watched movies, and read books. She wouldn’t nap though, and I took her home so I could get some work done on cougar.

I have her today and we planned to go swimming again. She’s just now trying to learn how to swim–treading water and trying to make it from point A to point B, but she sinks more than she floats. lol Still, she finally is eager to try and I want to keep it up with her before the kids go back to school and they close the pool. But we’re supposed to have thunderstorms all day. It says 99% this morning, but I’m still seeing the sun, so what do I know? We see thunderheads lots and they’re really spectacular and then nothing happens.

Just checked the weather and it dropped down to 55% chance of rain. But 80% by the time the pool is open. We can swim in rain, just not thunderstorms. So it’s iffy. I don’t want to take her and then have to leave the pool because of the storms. She was so confused yesterday. But they didn’t blow the whistle a second time, she told me. Right, because of the thunderstorms. They close the pool for half an hour and you can’t hang around. You have to leave.

Anyway, I think it’s a stay at home day today.

Well, I’m off to post this before she gets here or it could be another hour or two before I do!

Have a fun-filled day!

Yellow Fish Photo Art

Jun27
Turtle looking in on the fish in the aquarium in this magical piece of art.

It was a wild day yesterday, between doing edits on cougar, walking, then going to the pool, swam, then watched baby, took pictures, then did some edits, then went home, then drove out to have my daughter’s earring issue fixed. She’d had her ears re-pierced the day before, and they were having a live band there so that was neat. And my granddaughter played Tick-Tac-Toe with us. Giant one, so that was cool. Thankfully I had my camera and took pictures.

Then we went into a fun toy shop, took pictures and then walked back to the car after a rainstorm. Then I drove to a place where they had planted a ton of golden coneflowers and they were so beautiful. I had my camera with me still, so I parked and walked over there to take pictures. Then went home, edited, had lunch, and then I walked the half a mile to their house for a cul-de-sac party in the light rain. 95 degree heat index, so it was hot. I ate too much so I hoped all the exercise burned some of those extra calories I shouldn’t have eaten.

I walked back the half mile in the heat. At 7:30, it was still hot, about 90 degree heat index.

So, I had a wild and fun day!

Today, more swimming and then the rest of the day will be spent on cougar and relaxing and downloading all those pictures! lol

Have a super fun day!

Yellow Fish

Jun26

This is a picture of a yellow fish that I took at the Woodlands Children’s Museum. I took several, but the fish wouldn’t stand still and this was the only one that looked really good. lol

I was out taking pictures this morning of clouds, the sunrise, the full strawberry moon–which is not pink, and the flowers, perfect lighting. I walked before it got too hot.

Yesterday, I found the orders that I need, but my scanner isn’t working.

That’s how you write a story, you know. One problem after another. And the deadline is looming.

Anyway, going with the kids to the pool in a bit, so editing You Had Me at Cougar first thing this morning to get somewhere with it. I need to finish this up, final proof Saving the White Cougar, begin writing the Christmas anthology story and the Red Wolf Christmas story. At least the mess I made while organizing and getting rid of stuff is starting to look more manageable. But I still have a paper mess everywhere. Just not a foot high all over the place. In the past when I would attempt this, I would just toss it all in a box and figure I’d get to it later, and then not. Ever.

Hope you all have a grand day! I’m back to the story! And feeling really good about it!

Hot, Hot Summer!

Jun25

Great news! I found the copy of the orders I needed!!! Now I can retire. And quit looking for them. Of course, where were they? In a safe place. I knew I had them. I had to use them to get my retired army reserve ID. And I thought I’d already looked for them in that one place, but I was looking for something else at the time, and missed it!

But now I have a new search on.

In the meantime, I’m still cleaning out stuff and organizing, so it’s all good.

And now I can get back to the business of finishing up You Had Me at Cougar!

We had a wild and exciting day yesterday! Making fairy wings and wands and pictures with Tinker Bell and other fairies. And then it was ballet, but my granddaughter wouldn’t go in, and then the other half of the class is agro and she loves that one. It’s a different teacher and more gymnastics stuff.

I’ve got to walk before it gets too beastly! Have a super fun day and if it’s as hot there as it is here, stay cool!

Drip Drop–Capturing Dripping Water & International Fairy Day

Jun24

Some years ago, I had seen something about capturing pictures of dripping water and so I played with it and since the faucets were brass, it made for beautiful golden water drops.

Still going through tubs of stuff and put out a bunch for the garbage. Of course I wonder why I didn’t do that BEFORE I moved.

We’re going to the Woodlands Children’s Museum to see Tinker Bell for International Fairy Day!

Okay, working all morning, going through files, but now it’s time to dress up to be a fairy and celebrate.

Zinnia in the Garden

Jun23

A lavender zinnia. They are such cheerful little plants.

So yesterday I was doing a million things while looking for one little document. It meant that I pulled out rubber tubs that I hadn’t gone through since the move here six years ago and I really started getting rid of stuff or organizing it if it’s something important enough to keep. A lot isn’t really, so I might, after the initial clean out, go through the stuff again and get rid of more stuff.

I always feel good about cleaning out stuff, but I still haven’t found the paper I need.

So after I organize all this junk and put it away, then I’ll have to tackle the containers of stuff I have that are underneath all the Christmas decorations. Now that’s going to be hot. The garage is hot. And the containers are super heavy, so just moving them into the house isn’t going to be easy. Just thinking of moving all the Christmas stuff first makes me hot. lol

But I love getting more organized. And I lost another 1 1/2 lbs. Past my first goal, working on my second one! But I didn’t have time to write. I only need to write 8500 more words to reach word goal. Yay!

Well, I’m off to work and then it’s back to more organizing!

Have a stupendous day!

Playing with More Oscraps Challenges

Jun21

These are different Oscraps challenges just to play around with. And they’re fun when I need a break from writing and life.

I need only 9,000 more words for You Had Me at Cougar to get my minimum word count. Yay!

So today we’re back to me taking care of little one two days a week and picking her up after school. I managed to actually get 4,000 words on Saturday, and then just a 1,000 yesterday.

I was out photographing the beautiful sunset the other day and my neighbor’s redheaded granddaughter was out with her dad so I took pictures of her so I can turn it into a fantasy picture for them.

I’m working on photos I took of the family to give to them. And then it’s back to the book. Well, and little one will be here. I’ve been losing on average 2 lbs a week also, so I’m really happy about that! I’m at my first goal, working on my next. 🙂

Hope you all have a fun day!
