My Crazy Havanese

Apr30

Max is the white one, calm. Tanner is the wild one, crazy. Here he was a puppy smelling the berry suet for the birds and he wanted it in the worst way. He barked at it. Watched it. Did a dance to get it. Since then he learned that eventually the birds would drop the seeds on the ground and he didn’t have to work so hard to get them. Silly dog.

I’m off to pilates and then writing!

Have a marvelous non-stressful day!

Tanner and the Shoe

Apr29

He used to be a shoe and sock thief. He never chewed on either, but would carry them into his bed. Now he only steals socks. I tell the grandkids when they take off their shoes and socks, to put their socks on the couch or he’ll steal them. I find them in his crate, his bed, if he goes outside, he’ll drop them out there. He just likes to carry them around. Crazy little dog.

I’m off to take care of my grandson. Back to potty training.

Hope your day is super great!!!

Running Out of Time

Apr28

A bicycle in Cameron Park, no owner to be found. What happened??? When my co-workers and I were hiking, we found this bike and no rider so I took a picture of it and it’s one of my favorites–a total mystery.

Do you ever feel you are running out of time to get things done? I have so many things I want to get done and every day…I run out of time. Even so, I managed to paint some hot pink fences for my granddaughter, put together a patio set, wrote another 2,000 words on Wolf Bound, put out more dirt in one of the flowerbeds, watered, and cleaned up the patio. We’ve been having super high winds and hot days, cloudy though, which really is great. Hopefully we’ll get some rain next week, but that means no painting. No need to water though either.

And!!! Some of my tomatoes are beginning to appear. But something already ate at one. Argh! It’s teeny, tiny too, so that was a surprise.

Hope you get everything done in a day that you want to!

Woolly Mammoths in a Misty Meadow

Apr27

I mixer brush painted the elephants, added my own clouds, and a Daily Texture meadow.

I’ve been out taking pictures of new blooms, and painting some little chicken wire fences hot pink for my granddaughter’s flowerbed. When I bought the paint, I was doing self-checkout and it kept beeping. I wasn’t paying any attention and the clerk had to come over and say it was okay for me to buy the paint. Ohhhhh, sniffing paint. Believe me, I wish I didn’t have to sniff any of it while I’m painting. I wear a mask, but I keep thinking–lung cancer!

Hope your day is a walk in the meadow.

A Little Whimsy for Friday

Apr26

I think I’ll take off the day–no digging in the garden, no painting, no writing. What? Then I wouldn’t be having any fun!

Hope you enjoy a day filled with leopards and hummingbirds! In a fun, fantastical way.

Daylilies Blooming All Over

Apr25

Little…or big…darlings of the garden.

At 12,000 on Wolf Bound.

Painted some more rusty ironwork, and I’m off to a new day!

Have a super fun day!

Boy and His Griffon–in Blue and Gold

Apr24

I like color coordinating characters in composites.

I made it to 10,000 words on Wolf Bound! So 60K to go. Even if that sounds like a lot of writing, if I think in 10,000 word increments, that’s doable.

I was planting and stuff yesterday, so didn’t do any painting. So I will try to get some more items painted today!

Have a beautifully color coordinated day! Or be wild and uncoordinate!

Before and After–Bistro Set Refinished

Apr23

So much more cheerful! Every time I turn around, I find more things to paint.

I’m up to 8,000 words on Wolf Bound, woohoo! 62,000+ words to go!

I did manage to plant the ligustrum around those electric boxes and I’m going to plant some flower seeds around them to hopefully stop all the weeds from growing, though I also added mulch, until the plants grow bigger and can shade out some of the weeds.

Okay, got to get busy! Have a fun day!

Happy Earth Day!

Apr22

My little grandson and I were planting more butterfly weed flowers for the hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. We’re started coneflowers and lavender. We’re planting sunflower seeds too. And some more perennials, a mix, so I never know what will come up. The zinnias are all coming up though.

With all my shrubs and trees, I’m creating a little heavenly garden that helps to cut down on noise pollution and provides a green (and colorful flowery) place to escape to. The birds love it too and have found a little forest reserve of their own filled with birdbaths and a water fountain and plants with berries they like to eat. Though sometimes they go after my tomatoes too, but I have plenty to share.

Hope your Earth Day is a great one!

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Apr21

Do you ever feel like that? That any path you take is fraught with danger?

We’re off to the zoo for my grandson’s birthday celebration and it turned cold! But at least the rain stopped and I’m loving the chilly weather before we end up with heat that won’t subside.

Hope you never find yourself in this kind of a situation!
