Wolf Milk

May21

Tiny itty bitty little mushrooms that popped up under the tomato plants. That means the soil is healthy! We had 1.5″ of rain yesterday, more coming.

I saw several bell peppers coming out too. I’ll take a picture when they’re a little bigger. I usually end up with one or two, so I was excited to see so many.

Managed to get some work done on the jaguar book, hand writing it so need to type up my notes. I might be up to 3,000 words, 77,000 to go!

Have a lovely day!!

Cherry Tomato Plant Nearly 7 Feet Tall

May20

It’s covered in cherry tomatoes, the first one is ripening!

We’ve had rain all night, it has been wonderful!

I’ve been working on the jaguar story this morning.

Hope your weather is great! We got a cool down that we really needed.

Finished Filling in the Plant Tower

May19

I do have two tomato plants in there and I need to replace them with flowers.

Mosquitoes are rabid though, and heat is still awful. We did have a little rain today, yay!

Hope your day is going great!

Asian Lily Just Bloomed

May18

Usually, I like colorful flowers, but these Asian Lilies are huge and gorgeous. Then more popped out!

Hope you’re having a fun day. I want to return to bed!!! Coughing all night is the pits.

Have a great one!

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!

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!

Happy Earth Day!

Apr22

We had 1.5 inches of rain, which is why the hostas are a little dirty. But this is a white-feathered variety.

The green ones are beginning to unfurl also.

Okay, off to work. My blood counts have all dropped, but stomach-wise, I’m feeling better.

Hope you have a lovely Earth Day!

Mostly Finished the Hosta Bed

Apr20

I moved all the pavers, except the ones underneath the ligustrum. But I managed to fill in the planting bed with soil and hostas. You can see their little white/green leaves coming up.

The ones way in the back are white-feathered hosta. They say once they get a lot of light, they’ll turn a pale green. But they’ll be pretty no matter what. This should be prettier than plain dirt!

Another project I was working on. This is a purple magic crepe myrtle. This is all shady so I added Turk’s cap that loves shade and has pretty red flowers that hummingbirds love. You can see a full-grown one behind it to the right. So the new ones should fill that all in.

I’ve been working on another project, but ran out of pavers, like usual. 🙂

I’m off to do some more work.

Hope your week is going great!
