A Fancy Peony in Pale Pink and White

Jun22

The peonies were so gorgeous in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, but in the Texas heat here, it’s too hot. I checked though because I don’t remember seeing anyone who has them here, so I wanted to know if we really could grow them here. One lady from Nebraska said she had to have some because she loved them back home and she puts ice on them in the winter so they bloom in the spring. lol

Me? I grow plants that I don’t have to work that hard at keeping alive or helping to bloom. 🙂

I’m off to edit some more of the book.

Have a outstandingly great 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!

Cosmos Flowers

Jun18

I’m really late blogging this morning. I was looking for a LIGHTWEIGHT camera to use that still would shoot telescopic and macro. AND is LIGHTWEIGHT. Did I mention that before? I probably can’t get all that in one camera, but it’s nice to dream. Between carrying my laptop on trips, which is heavy, and my camera and lenses which are heavy both on trips and just taking hikes to capture photos, I really need to lighten my load.

Okay, I’m off to work on the story! I have to take my granddaughter to coder school in a little bit and it’s supposed to storm. But just for a short bit, so it says. Tomorrow it’s supposed to rain all day. So it says…

Have a terrifically blissful day!!!

Pretty Yellow Daylily

Jun5

It’s just like Christmas. I’ve had some of these daylilies for years, but every year, they pop out and it’s like opening a flowery Christmas present. I had these colors? Wow! This one just opened and I don’t remember having it at all. It’s the only one with this color anywhere in the yard.

Little ones will be here soon, so off to do my chores.

Hope you are having a fun-filled day!

Blazing Star

Jun3

I have some tried and true flowers I plant every year because I know they can withstand our awful heat and humidity–zinnia, mums, marigolds, daylilies, salvia. But I hadn’t tried growing the blazing star and I thought it was sooooo pretty, I would see how it did. Plus, I love purple flowers. Several are getting ready to bloom and butterflies love it. This is the first to bloom. It was hiding behind my crepe myrtle. Even though they are supposed to love sun, in our too hot environment, the first to bloom was the one in partial shade.

Grandkids are landing in on me momentarily. We’re not supposed to have storms until this afternoon, so we’ll go to the pool this morning.

Have a great day!!!

Roma Tomatoes…I think

Jun2

My daughter gave me some of the plants, and this one is really happy with its roots shaded by ferns.

Some kind of a purple tomato.

Cherry tomatoes. I have two different varieties. One that turns red, and the other orange.

I’m in tomato heaven.

I’ve been working all weekend on edits to Wolf Bound and reached the end, so now I have to write some more scenes to finish the story.

Have a super fun day!

Tiny Miniature Roses

May27

These are unusual. They have white on one side and black on the other and red in the center. Love miniature roses.

We had a super busy day yesterday–swimming, lunch out, mall window shopping. It’s so hot that going to the playground isn’t an option. Even at 4 this morning, it feels like 86 degrees out.

I’ve been editing the first 8 chapters of Wolf Bound, which means taking out and rewriting and adding in. Which means I only added 500 words yesterday. So 1500 words from minimum word count goal. Woohoo!

Today, we’re swimming this morning, though before the pool opens, I’ll get some writing in. And then having grilled burgers for Memorial Day.

Okay, I’m off to get something done before I can’t!

Have a rosy day!

Golden Zinnia

May25

I don’t think I ever had one that color before. It’s so pretty. The butterflies and bees love them.

Swim day at the pool was so much fun yesterday. My grandson loves the water and was really swimming (with floaties) across the width of the pool over and over again. My granddaughter swims like a fish now, so it was lots easier to take care of both of them by myself. We had a ball so we’ll be going swimming every day that I have them. The water was even warm because of our 100 degree days.

Amazingly, after such a wild day, I actually managed to write 4,000 words on Wolf Bound. Only 4,000 left to go for my minimum word goal. We had a busy morning today and tomorrow for hours, so we’ll see how it goes.

Hope you have a wild and wonderful day!

Asiatic Lily of a Chocolate Burgundy Color

May14

I had thought I had blogged yesterday! That’s what happens when I have little one here if I don’t get my blog done before he arrives.

We had wild thunderstorms yesterday, but when I came home from the grocery store with my grandson, I thought I saw this beautiful Asiatic lily blooming behind larger white ones. So in the middle of a light rain, we had to go check it out and sure enough, the lily my daughter had given me for Mother’s Day 2 years ago was blooming. Isn’t it beautiful?

I’m coughing my head off, not sure how long I actually slept last night, planned to sleep in but am giving up.

I finally got an appointment at the Ford dealership in Waco to fix a dangerous recall item. Now, for 2 years, I’ve tried to get it done in Houston, but nope, they won’t do it. I’ve been here 10 years, so it’s really frustrating that I have to drive 6 hours round trip to get this done at the dealership where I purchased the car. On the Houston Ford service site, someone said they told them to return to the place where they bought the car. They had bought theirs in California! If Ford dealerships won’t honor recalls like this, then why buy Fords? I won’t ever buy a Ford in this area because of it.

Okay, I’m off to get some writing done. I’m up to 45k, only 25k to go. I knew I could do it!

Have a super fun day!!
