If It’s Not Broken…

Feb8

WordPress changed things on me again. Oh, maybe it’s better and maybe it’s not, but I posted two blogs in a day because I didn’t realize the place you schedule has changed, and the tags too. So I forget them half the time now.

And I don’t want to hear anyone say anything about teaching old dogs new tricks. lol

Is she giving me/you a look, or what? That is the female bluebird. I have to remember she’s really not looking at me. She’s looking at a camera, trying to figure out what that thing is. 🙂

Okay, so I spent yesterday working on formatting 2 novels and 3 novellas into print: Galaxy Warrior, Loving the White Bear, Vexing the Highlander, His Wild Highland Lass, and Covert Cougar Christmas. I had thought about waiting to  have one more novella for the Highlanders and 2 more for the cougars and print as an anthology for each, but I saw a lot of authors had the smaller novellas in print at the reader’s convention this past weekend, so decided to do it too. I have to wait for the proofs to come back and then read them all over again to make sure there aren’t any mistakes.

I also did taxes for the anthology we were in, and had to wash Tanner because he rolled in something smelly outside, and read a little more of another contest book. Oh, and checked with the narrator for Taming the Cougar, because it was supposed to be done the end of December, and… he said he’d have it to me next week.

And I registered for the RWA conference. Which means I didn’t work on Flight of the White Wolf. But I have so many things hanging over my head, that I needed to get SOMETHING done. 🙂 I still need to do the bear too. 🙂

And that’s it! Now, what mischief can I get into today?

Hope you have a fun one and no little bluebird gives you the LOOK.

Mama and Papa Bluebirds

Feb7

I don’t brighten up the male bluebirds in photoshop. They are that wildly bright. The other is the female, very subdued, but you can see the bluer-gray on her, and her rusty belly like the male. But they’re together. I love them. I don’t see them very often, so when I do, I’m thrilled.

Finished the novella, Night of the Wolf, finished the tax report for the Kissing the Highlander anthology, and December’s final statement. I always wonder where all the time goes. And that’s it!

Okay, off to begin reading another Rita book. Tomorrow I need to finish a bear and get back to work on Flight of the Wolf. 🙂

Have a bluebird day. 🙂

Bluebirds and Bugs!

Mar17

mockingbird and blue bird 009The male bluebird was actually hidden in the rain gutter forever. He was working on all the bugs up there. What a lovely little bird! And so I was standing there holding my camera up forever, trying to get a shot of him. And there he was! And this time he held still for me.

But she decided this was her good side and would only show it off to me. 🙂

I’ve been moving burford holly to the backyard. It was underneath the front windows and gets to 8 feet in height. I didn’t want to have to sheer them constantly to keep them lower. I’m all for the low maintenance garden. The one where the plants are where they should be, with room to grow and not have to be cut back because they are too big for the spot they’re sitting in. The hollies have red berries the birds love to eat and they’re great protection for birds that want some cover.

I also have a couple of skyrocket holly that will get to 10 feet, but only spread a foot wide. 🙂 Anyway, now the backyard will begin to look like a garden and not just like a backyard. 🙂 I bought some lavender also, just need to figure out where to plant it. Oh, and yes, the puppies are trying to eat the birdseed.

Have a great day! Back to edits on the The Viking’s Highland Lass!
