Peacock in All Its Finery

Mar14

I took the photo of him in Hawaii.

I wasn’t feeling well last night and I think it’s the chemo. Three more days of it and then I’m off for 2 weeks.

I only need 15,000 words on Bear in Pursuit for the minimum word count. I’m hoping to get a little branch trimming done today and get more word count.

Hope your day is just as vibrant as the peacock’s!

Jaguar Nearly Asleep

Mar13

His eyes are just a wee bit open as he watches me take a photo of him at the Omaha zoo. Love jaguars. They are such beautiful big cats.

Last day of spring break for my granddaughter. We were painting bookmarks yesterday. I’m not good at that kind of art, but we had fun.

The temperature has dropped drastically, so don’t really feel like doing anything in the garden. But it’s supposed to get to 72 about 1 pm, so maybe by then we can go out and play!

Have a terrific Friday the 13th!

Budgies Conversing

Mar12

These two little budgies at the Dallas Zoo were talking away to each other.

My granddaughter and I planted our flowers yesterday, and then we had thunderstorms, perfect timing, though I got a little wet when I put zinnia seeds out at the last moment. The temperature dropped this morning, brrr. So glad we did all this yesterday.

We’re going to our favorite ice cream shop for a treat this afternoon, the first time in over a year since I’ve been.

Hope you are enjoying your day!

Muscovy Ducks at a Park in Houston

Mar11

My granddaughter is here most of the time gardening and creating artwork, so I have to help and I’m missing posting. lol

But we’re having fun.

Hope your day is going super fine.

The Goat and the Squirrel

Mar9

I took the photo of the goat in Okinawa, and the squirrel in my backyard.

Well, it’s time for blood work again. Fingers crossed my blood counts haven’t dropped to much. I’ve been on chemo for a week. So far, so good.

Hope you have a lovely day!

Bluebird Bug Eater

Mar8

Bluebird ready to fly. A whole bunch of bluebirds, this one included, flew toward my living room window when I was writing a book. They were going under the eave, targeting yellow jackets building a nest. Instant bug control.

Now, if only they would work on the yellow jackets around here!

We had wild storms last night. Two inches of rain! We really needed it!

I planted some seeds while it was raining. It’s a great time to plant!

Hope your day is going great! I think the chemo is getting to me this morning. Feeling queasy. 🙁 It’s been a week on the chemo.

Stunning Stork at the Dallas Zoo

Mar6

Love the big birds. They’re so elegant.

I’ve been doing lots of yardwork, trimming branches, and planting some hostas. I finished my taxes and have to work on the grizzly bear story.

I had to wash Max. He threw up this morning. He does that every once in a while and smells so bad. As soon as I brought out the portable dog bath, both dogs took off for the hills. lol But he smells nice and clean now.

Have a great day!!

Tufted Titmouse in My Backyard

Mar5

Original and artified. I love taking a photo and turning it into photoart.

I’m doing okay so far on the chemo. It’s been just 3 days so far.

I planted chives and crocuses yesterday, still cutting branches down.

Hope your day is great. One of my dogs threw up, smells awful, so I know what I need to do next. lol Not one of my goals for today.Off to wash him.

Little Owl Looking up over His Shoulder

Mar1

It’s amazing how they can turn their head so far around on their body!

Yesterday, I did manage to get 1,000 words done, and I cut back on some crepe myrtle branches. Their trunks are so beautiful, but then they shoot up all kinds of new shoots, some that crisscross and wear on other branches, and this is the time to cut them back before the crepe myrtles leaf out and flower. I have a ton of them since they have volunteered in places where I didn’t plant them. Which is mostly everywhere. I only planted 5. The others have come from birds, I think, because they are different-colored flowers from the 5 that I planted.

They are beautiful, but I just have to keep after them a bit so they stay that way. They say to let them have trunks in a multiple of 3 or 5 or 7, that they’re more aesthetically pleasing to the eye that way.

I’m also cutting back Esperanza that died during the frost, but is coming back at the roots, and other flowering plants like that. Some made it through the frost, others didn’t, but they’re all coming back from the roots.

I’m off to write before I don’t have the chance to.

Have a fun-filled day!

Roadrunner

Feb28

This curious roadrunner was at the Fort Worth Zoo. I love how they’ll come up to you. I had a wild one at my home in Crawford, that would peek in the windows at me while I was typing away at a story. It made the most mournful calls, searching for a forever mate.

My blood tests were much better. If the mutation hadn’t come back, the doctor would have kept me off chemo. ugh. So I’m starting that back up on Monday. Feel great now. Doubt I will when I start the chemo.

Have a delightfully curious day!
