Indoor Planting

I think I missed blogging yesterday. I love chives on potatoes and eggs and last year, we had such a mild winter, they lived all through the winter on my covered patio. But they had gotten so root bound, I had transplanted some to a flowerbed and kept the other in a pot and both died.

Basil on the left, looking sad, pink and green plant and chives looking great

So then I had the brilliant idea of growing some inside. My daughter had given me a plant grow light for my birthday, and I had to bring in the basil and another plant, so why not grow some chives?

I had to go to the grocery store yesterday, it’s been about 2 weeks, and guess what I found? I was going to look for chives seeds, but even better? Poor little frosty chive plants and I took two home to hopefully grow all winter. Hopefully. I’m not the best at taking care of potted plants. I over water, under water, no in between.

The basil had gotten 5″ of rain outside, so when I brought it in, it’s now in very sad shape. It might not make it. If not, that’s okay. I don’t eat it like I do chives. The pink and green plant is looking beautiful.

Little one will be here shortly. We’re decorating a gingerbread house today. I got the easy one where it’s already made and we just decorate it with icing. It might still be too difficult for me. Since she’s only 3, I figure that’s better than trying to make one in it’s entirety.

Oh, and so I went to do my nightly: print out pages I’d written to edit and I get one page printed and the printer stops. Page jamb, I figure. Nope, red crayon in the printer paper drawer.

So here’s the scenario. I pull out paper from the printer drawer for my granddaughter to draw on. Or I print pages for her to color. To her, that’s just another drawer for her to put her things in. lol

I go to edit my papers and the top page is covered in her red crayon drawing. I had to laugh. So I’m trying to read the words under the crayon markings. I had put her turkey picture in the printer drawer to recycle and use again. I always do that with my paper. So she was helping me to recycle her pictures. lol

I’m off to get ready for her to come. I put up all the rest of my lights yesterday outside and inside. I’m done. Or…done in.

I did write another 2,000 words and I’m inching closer to the finish line on Cougar Christmas Calamity.

Have a great day!!!

More Macro: Water Droplets

Macro shots showing water drops and me taking a picture in them, a red rose and rosebuds, chives flowers. And baby sleeping on my lap while I was typing away on the story! I was determined to finish Howard’s story.

So I finished the book!!! Did I take a moment to celebrate? Nope. I have promotional blogs I have to do for All’s Fair in Love and Wolf! It’s coming May 1st. So I did all but one. I worked on it, but need to finish it up today. I have to see the tax accountant this morning, I have a jury duty summons for the first week in April and I need to get started on the next book. This is Brock’s SEAL wolf story, twin brother to Vaughn from SEAL Wolf Undercover.

 

All’s Fair in Love and Wolf

I also received a 4 star review from RT Magazine (they only give 4.5 as a max), so I’m elated for All’s Fair in Love and Wolf! And top pick from Night Owl Romance.

All’s Fair in Love and Wolf by Terry Spear

RT Book Reviews has given All’s Fair in Love and Wolf a fantastic four star review! They only give a max of 4.5, so this is great!

“In the new installment of the Silver Town Wolf series, a suspected would-be felon meets a bounty hunter she-wolf with an attitude. All’s Fair In Love and Wolf is a sweet tale of two individuals on the opposite sides of the law — at least that’s how it seems when they first met. As the story progresses, the characters show real depth and chemistry, making it a great read.” RT Book Reviews

Night Owl Romance– Debra Taylor, Reviewer’s Top Pick!
All’s Fair in Love and Wolf
“This story had a good mystery! It was unexpected and came as a complete surprise. Terry Spear is an amazing storyteller which was clearly illustrated by the true depth of emotion that was woven into the story. The chemistry between Sarandon and Jenna was scorching from the beginning but they were concerned that a mating might pull them in different directions. It seemed to me like the author did a great job of introducing a potential new series arc with some new characters. I’m all in for more books in this still as exciting as ever paranormal romance series.
As always, Terry Spear did a fabulous job on this book. I can’t wait for the next Heart of the Wolf book.

The Silver Town wolf pack has your back

Wolf shifter Sarandon Silver’s in trouble with the law, and bounty hunter she-wolf Jenna St. James is determined to bring him in for trial.

Lucky for Sarandon, the entire Silver Town pack is ready to fight for his innocence. But until the case is solved, Jenna’s sticking to Sarandon like glue…

A Bit of a Fairy Garden

close up of blue and silver wind chimes sunset 001 (640x427)Added some wind chimes with glass baubles and a blue glass bottle for some interest. A sparrow jumped on the wind chimes, scared himself and jumped on the feeder while a house finch watched him. The fairy wind chimes didn’t scare them off.

close up of blue and silver wind chimes sunset 002 (640x427)These are the copper ones on the other bird feeder.

tomato plants and a frog (640x427)The frog is protecting the 3 little tomatoes.

fairies in the garden 001 (640x427)And the fairies are watching over the chives.

fairies in the garden 003 (640x427)fairies in the garden 012 (640x427)While Max is watching over the rose and lavender garden fairy. I’d forgotten all about my fairies, still waiting to be unpacked and find a home here too.

I couldn’t decide, have everything blend in or be bright and colorful and whimsical? The fairy garden won out. 🙂

A Very Jaguar Christmas was sent back to the editor. And I’m back to working on Golden Fae!

Have a great Sunday!!!
