Daylilies in Bloom! I’m in Remission!!!

May8

Several different daylilies in bloom!! I’m waiting for the Asiatic Lilies to bloom.

I got the results back from the bone marrow biopsy, and for the first time since February 2025, I’m in remission! Acute Myeloid Leukemia is an extremely aggressive cancer so I’m absolutely thrilled. Last time I had a biopsy, it showed the mutation had returned, so I’m still waiting on that report, but this is the first time I’ve been in remission.

I’m rereading Bear in Pursuit before I turn it over to beta readers, then on to the next book to work on!

Hope you have an extraordinarily beautiful day.

Vitex (Chaste Tree) Montrose Purple in Bloom

May7

My daughter and I had seen these trees/shrubs at different places, and we both love purple flowers. It’s supposed to be drought-resistant when established. It’s known as a “pollinator queen,” attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. We bought them as shrubs because we couldn’t fit the ones trained as trees into her car. lol So we’re training ours into trees.

To begin with, it was just the little white blossoms until the flowers bloomed. I was afraid we’d gotten the wrong variety.

I’m hoping it continues to thrive through this summer and beyond!

Finished writing Bear in Pursuit and today I need to start reading it from beginning to end.

Hope you have a purplish fun day!

Bear in Pursuit

May6

I finally finished the book yesterday! But I’m still editing it. That’s the fun part. When it’s written from beginning to end and I can just read it for pleasure. And editing to make it better.

We’re supposed to get rain this afternoon. I hope we do so I don’t have to water!

Hope you are having a wonderful time!

What is our Future?

May2

“Crumbling under the weight of tyranny, little dragon, like the collapse of the Roman Empire. But we will come through this if we stand together.”

I need to write a fantasy dragon story!

Still working on Bear in Pursuit. We had rain through midnight last night. We had 4″ of rain. No need to water today. Woohoo!

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Kangaroo at the Dallas Zoo

Apr30

They took me off 6 pills last night, woohoo! Still on 7. The ones they took me off can cause nausea. But 3 of the ones I’m still on do too.

They gave me 4 shots, which I needed and I have 2 months and I’ll start on the last round of some of the shots. Yay!

I still need the MMR next year, and shingles vaccine this summer.

I had the biopsy and that hurt like crazy, so do the shots, but at least it’s over with and onward and upward!

Hope you are enjoying your day!!!

Tomato Plants!

Apr27

Better Bush Tomato plant.

Cherry tomato plant.

Volunteer tomato plant I need to move.

Cherokee tomato plant.

We had issues with rats this morning, dogs caught one. Tanner wouldn’t let it go. I had a drs. appt to go to. Time was running out. lol He wanted to bring the dead rat in the house. I finally took their dog food and was going to give them some outside, but they barged inside, luckily without the rat.

I put the rat out with the trash, fed them, and made it to my appt on time. lol

Hope your day isn’t quite so wild!

Alligator with an Eye on You!

Apr25

I took the photo of the alligator at the birding reserve on South Padre Island. They also had baby alligators and owls. It was a fun place. I had a blast.

Some of the alligators were raised there, but wild alligators would show up in the marshlands also. All of them are dangerous!

Okay, I’ve been working on Bear in Pursuit. I’m working on finishing it up. I keep thinking about where I’m going with it.

My grandson is staying with me and we’ve had a wonderful time. He turned 5! And we opened birthday presents, took a walk, got ice cream, read stories, and watched a kid’s program.

When we picked up my mail, I had a box of bulbs. Ack. So I need to plant those. And I mistakenly ordered bright white solar lights for the front yard, but already had soft yellow out there. Our mission is to plant the bulbs and move the white lights to the backyard, put together the yellow ones, and put them out front.

I’m fortunate that both my grandkids love to help grandma with projects. I got him a new pair of monster garden gloves so he can wear those for our next gardening adventure.

Off to get things done before he wakes! Have fun!
