Roses in Bloom

Apr2

Such a beautiful welcome home!

Pretty in Yellow!

It’s the start of a great day. Birdseed is out for the birds, puppies are at my feet in their beds, and I’m starting my day. I might even get to writing today. Yesterday, once I got home, I was still organizing stuff.

I went to use my recliner, and it wasn’t reclining. It was an easy fix, but just another thing to try and figure out. The doctor said I could use a water pik, no floss, and so I went to use it, no longer working. I did the dishes this morning, and the disposal is stuck. I’ll take a broom handle to it in a while. The house was getting warm, so I went to adjust the temperature, and the batteries in the thermostat were dead. Fixed. My Ring Bell needs to be charged too. How could everything stop working while I wasn’t even here??? lol

Off to get some more stuff done!

Have a super flowery kind of day.

Iris at a Texas State Park

Jan14

I love purple flowers, so I took some photos when I saw this one. I also love irises, though I haven’t had much success growing them here.

I did not get to work on my story yesterday, but I did get to the grocery store, and we walked to my granddaughter’s school to pick her up and walk back. The weather is supposed to get bad, deep freeze again next week, so while it’s nice, we’re walking.

Have a beautiful day!!

Before the New Year

Dec26

Honeybee on Salvia on Christmas Eve. Really warm. We had 3 1/2″ of rain on Christmas Eve.

So this morning, I had planned to clean out files before the New Year and organize my Christmas decorations. While I was pulling out files, the file cabinet began tilting toward me. Now, I have Christmas decorations and a big heavy glass vase on top, and I’m trying to push the cabinet back while catching everything.

Didn’t catch everything. The glass vase was a goner, shattered into a billion pieces on the tile floor. I’ve picked up the bigger pieces, swept up, vacuumed, and mopped, and still am finding glass. It shot up onto a side table and across the room to about twelve feet. So, THAT was not part of what I had planned to do this morning. lol

Anyway, I wanted to take down the decorations and clean everything really well, and then I’ll be all set to start on another book. Oh, wow, birds are on the feeders, and it started to pour rain suddenly.

And now it’s thundering.

I am off to finish up my work and then play some of Baldur’s Gate.

Hope your Christmas Day after is going great!

Salvia for Christmas

Dec15

I struggled to keep this new salvia plant alive this summer. And now it’s doing better than any of the others. One pink one did really well and then bit the dust. A fuschia one has held steady throughout the months. Here we are in December, and lots of flowering plants that struggled are coming back to life.

I moved the impatients around so many times because they were getting too much sun. They were in tiny containers and look at them now!

And because of a little rain, we’re getting fall colors.

We rarely get fall colors. Usually it just goes from green to brown to bare. So this is a real treat, fall and flowers!

Hope you have a colorful day.

When Everyone Else is Just Taking a Walk…

Aug5

I’m photographing flowers. Wildflowers at the edge of a lake road in New Hampshire.

Managed 4,000 words on Sunday on Highland Wolf, yay! I need 24K more. I had one thought, and now as I close in on her father’s castle, I have a whole other idea. That’s how my writing mind works. A lot of times I can’t “see” the situation until I’m closer to where I’m trying to get to.

I have both kids 3 times this week, so that puts a damper on my writing, but hopefully I’ll get some done! In the meantime, the scene I have in mind is only in my head and I need to get it down before I forget it!

Have a great day!

Foxglove-Poisonous and Pretty

Aug1

I tried to grow it once. They really are pretty. But they are poisonous. Took the photo in Massachusetts at the House of the Seven Gables garden.

I didn’t get anything written on Highland Wolf yesterday, had both kids and then pilates. And I was working on video book trailers for Highland Bound and Mated for Christmas. Oh, and pictures of the family when we went to New Hampshire.

Off to get ready for my granddaughter’s arrival. I think I’m feeling well enough to take her swimming. I’m still really congested, but the pool will be closing soon when the kids go back to school. I wish it was open longer since it’s soooo hot longer. But the lifeguards go back to school also.

Have a delightfully fun day!

Salvia in Bloom

Jul1

This is at a park near one of our libraries. I’ll be taking the grands to that today to pick up the free books they earned for their summer reading. They read every day so it’s not like they’ll stop once they do this. We turned in the HEB Buddy one also, and if my granddaughter will write down what she likes about the books she read, she’ll get a GS reading badge and a free book from Barnes and Noble. She’s already done the reading and written down the titles.

I’m off to get things done before they get here. The birds and dogs are ravenous.

Have a fun one!

Coneflowers–Another Favorite

Jun27

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!

Zinnia–Melon Color

Jun21

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

Jun20

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!
