Squirrel’s Nest Down After Storm

May21

Someone asked if those were feathers, but they’re not. They’re tufts of gray fur from squirrely squirrels. The squirrels had taken off long before the nest fell. I had to show it to both grandkids because it isn’t often that you have a squirrel nest in your yard that was once 35 feet or higher in the trees.

I realized yesterday later that I had posted the same picture two days in a row. That’s what happens when I’m in rush. I took my grandson to his sister’s graduation and ended up taking her home. Parents/guardians can do that after certain parties, activities every once in a while and many were taking their kids home. So I hadn’t expected to have both kids all day, but we had fun. I took them to have ice cream after they ate lunch at my house. If the residential pool had been open, I would have taken them to it. It felt like 98 yesterday and we’ll have a repeat of that today and tomorrow.

I only managed 1,000 words on Highland Wolf yesterday, none on Wolf Bound. I will have to make sure that when I have my granddaughter here all summer during the weekday that I still get my writing done. We played dominoes and I let her play reading and math games on my computer online, and we even taught the beginning of chicken foot dominoes to my grandson. He won the first round, then on the second round, he wanted to place a domino that couldn’t be placed and had a little tantrum. lol Then their mom arrived to save the day.

I’m off to clean up more pine cones in the yard from the last storm and then get to writing. Only one more school day after today and I believe the pool is open on Friday. I hope it’s warm enough because I want to swim!

Have a lovely day!

Max, the Butter Eating Cat

May20

A friend’s cat all grown up. I love taking a photo and turning it into photo art.

So I managed writing 2,000 words on Wolf Bound (12,000 more words to go!) and 3,000 words on Highland Wolf (51,000 words to go!) again yesterday. Woohoo! I’m filling in earlier scenes on Wolf Bound and with Highland Wolf, lots of fun conflict.

I have little one today and we’re going to his big sister’s 1st grade graduation ceremony this morning, then coming home, having lunch, and he’s napping. Me too. I can’t kick this cold. I might not manage any writing today. I try to do at least 1,000 words, though on my writing goal calendar, the two days I have him are considered non-writing days (my days off-ha!) because it’s hard to write, especially if I nap when he does. I got them both a stuffed animal for graduation, though his is more for moving up to 3 year preschool classes at day care.

Off to get ready for his arrival. Still doing potty training. And we do lots of reading and pre-school work pages. He loves them. I’m excited to take my grandson to his sister’s graduation. It fell on a day he was in day care last year, so I know he’s going to love going to it also.

Have a super fun day!!

My Brain is Less Fuzzy!

May19

Wrote 3,000 words on Highland Wolf and 2,000 on Wolf Bound yesterday. Sometimes I can write more if I switch to another story, but only really if I have an idea in mind. I’ve been getting more sleep, not as much coughing, until last night, and it’s really helped.

This is a friend’s now grown up cat. She says he still loves to eat butter. I’m off to write! I want to go back to bed.

Have a great one.

Beautiful Cats

May18

They are a friend’s cats. Had fun editing the scene.

So I did my 2,000 words on Wolf Bound, but then I had an idea for the 2nd book in the Medieval Highland Wolf series, and ended up writing 3,000 words. Yay!!! I love when that happens. I mean, I really, really, really love when that happens. I didn’t want to quit but it was getting so late that I needed to go to sleep.

I’ve got babysitting duty for a couple of hours. I’m off to try and write some before the grandkids land in on me.

Have a super duper day!!!

Made it Through the Storms

May17

Wild storms last night. We were under tornado watches/warnings, electricity kept going out, but luckily it kept flickering, and coming back on. A million homes were without electricity, so we were really lucky. Mosquitoes are vicious, but we did get rain, which cooled things down and watered my plants. Yay!

But we’re supposed to have worse storms this month, so I really need to stock up on more supplies for outages. I do have two bags of ice in the freezer from the last time we were out of electricity for hours, and I still have them!

I managed 1,000 words on Wolf Bound and 3,000 words on Once Upon a Time.

Okay, I’m off to write! Have a wonderful day!!

Pretty in Green

May16

He sure caught my attention–so pretty!

Well, I made it to 49K last night on Wolf Bound, didn’t expect it. I was playing out a scene in a book I haven’t started but have the covers for in the middle of the morning when I couldn’t sleep, so I’m going to try and write it down before I totally forget it. It’s a fantasy trilogy.

We were supposed to get rain all day, but now it’s not coming until later. We really need it. Or…I should say I do or I have to water the new plants. And I got some sleep last night!!!!!!! That was a miracle. Four hours straight of sleep, then coughing for a while, then 3 hours of sleep. So it was a good night! Still feel like a zombie, but I really needed that.

Hope you have a delightful day! Mine is going to be great!

Trying to Get My Blog Done!

May15

This consists of several texture layers and a fairy created with DAZ3D.

I feel like a zombie because of still coughing all night. I’m soooo tired. After we eat lunch, my grandson and the dogs are all going down for naps!

Hope your day is going great!!

Asiatic Lily of a Chocolate Burgundy Color

May14

I had thought I had blogged yesterday! That’s what happens when I have little one here if I don’t get my blog done before he arrives.

We had wild thunderstorms yesterday, but when I came home from the grocery store with my grandson, I thought I saw this beautiful Asiatic lily blooming behind larger white ones. So in the middle of a light rain, we had to go check it out and sure enough, the lily my daughter had given me for Mother’s Day 2 years ago was blooming. Isn’t it beautiful?

I’m coughing my head off, not sure how long I actually slept last night, planned to sleep in but am giving up.

I finally got an appointment at the Ford dealership in Waco to fix a dangerous recall item. Now, for 2 years, I’ve tried to get it done in Houston, but nope, they won’t do it. I’ve been here 10 years, so it’s really frustrating that I have to drive 6 hours round trip to get this done at the dealership where I purchased the car. On the Houston Ford service site, someone said they told them to return to the place where they bought the car. They had bought theirs in California! If Ford dealerships won’t honor recalls like this, then why buy Fords? I won’t ever buy a Ford in this area because of it.

Okay, I’m off to get some writing done. I’m up to 45k, only 25k to go. I knew I could do it!

Have a super fun day!!

Happy Mother’s Day!

May12

Hope yours is great!!

I was out planting some reblooming Asiatic lilies. I love how they have plant varieties that I adore that now rebloom instead of just bloom once a year.

A Surprise!

May11

This is one of the nearly dead miniature red rosebushes I took home with me to try and revive, and look at it! It has not only a red rose, which is all it had when I picked it up, but a yellow rose too!

Gardening can give me lots of surprises. This is one of the fun kind!

Hope your day is going great and it’s only full of fun surprises! Off to write!
