The Bug and the Toad

The bug is taking his life in his own hands–uhm, legs.

Maybe they have a symbiotic relationship. Or maybe this bug is inedible. Or maybe the toad just can’t reach him. 🙂 Or maybe he isn’t aware that the bug is there. Nah. He knows it.

What do you think?

When Robots Take Over the World

My granddaughter and I dropped by Walmart looking for a cursive writing book, but they didn’t have one. What they did have was a robot floor polisher that was following us all over the store. At least it seemed like it. lol I want one!

Pilates this morning, pool after that, then I have the kids for this evening. How did that happen again? lol We might go to the library and turn in their reading logs and get a free book!

Have a great day!

Coneflowers–Another Favorite

I grew these from seeds, and I have another couple in different areas. But with our hot, hot, humid, hot Texas heat, they do great in a little bit of shade. I have one that is in a lot of shade now and it’s not as profuse, just getting ready to bloom (old one, maybe about 6 years old and the seeds planted before the rosebush grew so big beside it). And another that I planted that is in full sun, that is still working on presenting flowerbuds. I planted the seeds for that one and the other that is pictured above this year. I love how their centers stretch to the sky in little golden mounds and their petals hang down. They’re such sweet little flowers. And they don’t mind the heat and sun and drought. Though a little shade and watering they welcome at this time of year.

I’m off to get ready for my next adventure. Barely got any writing in yesterday, but added a few descriptive items on Wolf Bound. It’s at 85K now.

Have a grand adventurous day!

Venus Fly Trap

When the plants bite back. I took the photo at a space museum in Alabama.

Okay, off to do swimming with the grands and then maybe the library, but little one needs his nap, so not sure about that. Feeding them because they decided they wanted to eat breakfast at Grandma’s. lol

Got to run! We’re doing schoolwork!

Have a fun day!

Fuzzy Ornamental Grasses

I love seeing these in their colorful form around the neighborhood. They’re always so pretty.

Still working on Bound by Danger. Just have one grandkiddo today and we plan to have a longer pool day this morning. The other pool is much smaller, the larger one being cleaned on Mondays. So the smaller one is cleaned on Tuesdays. That means it has more debris in it and more people. An 8-year-old boy jerked my 3-year-old grandson’s pool noodle away from him and then sat on it like it had been his all along with his back to my grandson, dismissing him. My grandson had floaties on and I was a little ways away because it was too shallow for me, so he swam to me with a frown on his face and we went to get his noodle back. I saw the 8 year old bullying his 2-year-old brother later. The mom never got in the water and she acted totally clueless about what her 3 children were doing. I had talked to the 6-year-old girl and she told me their ages.

Anyway, I asked the boy to please give my grandson’s noodle back to him. He never apologized, just got off it and tossed it at him. The little monster. His mother should have said something to him and not me. That’s the problem with some parents. They don’t care what their kids are up to and then when the kids are teens? Watch out.

So I’m off to get things done before my granddaughter is here.

Have a fun day!!!

Pretty in Peach/Pink

They were fading a bit when I managed to take a photo of them. I have to do it before it’s too sunny out and it’s ALWAYS sunny out.

Okay, got the grandkiddos back and we’re off to grocery shop and swim today.

Have a lovely day!

A Fancy Peony in Pale Pink and White

The peonies were so gorgeous in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, but in the Texas heat here, it’s too hot. I checked though because I don’t remember seeing anyone who has them here, so I wanted to know if we really could grow them here. One lady from Nebraska said she had to have some because she loved them back home and she puts ice on them in the winter so they bloom in the spring. lol

Me? I grow plants that I don’t have to work that hard at keeping alive or helping to bloom. 🙂

I’m off to edit some more of the book.

Have a outstandingly great day!

Zinnia–Melon Color

Zinnia can take the heat. I love how they bloom and bloom through fall and all this heat.

I’m editing Wolf Bound again, adding a dedication, synopsis, ISBNs, Acknowledgements. I still need to finish the book, but I know you’ve heard this before, it’s getting closer to being done. Woohoo!

Have a super fun day!

Pretty in Purple

Love water lilies but this one was super pretty. Captured it in Okinawa.

I’m off to work. I was updating my dedication list so I have one for Wolf Bound, and then I’ll have one more to dedicate after that for Highland Wolf, and then???? I need more dedicees. I know. Made up word. But I’m a writer and it suits my purpose. lol

Have a fun made-up word day!

House of the Seven Gables, Salem, New Hampshire

My favorite part of the tour was the secret staircase hidden in the wall. It was so narrow and confined and twisty and turny it was spooky.

We have rain most of the day, just light showers though. I was out feeding the wild birds and grabbing a photo of coneflowers in bloom.

Off to write!!! Have a super duper fine day!
