So they say it’s good to have dandelions in the yard because they’re often the first to flower for the bees, but when my grandkids want to blow the powder puff seed balls, I tell them they have to do them far away from my yard! We do it at one of the ponds, just in case you’re wondering if we blow them in other people’s yards! lol We don’t.
My granddaughter is off from school today, so we’re going to home depot to look at plants. Some that the housing development planted around our electric boxes died last winter. Before I get an HOA warning, I need to replace them, but I’ll get something as tiny as I can so that I don’t have to dig much just in case wires and stuff are there. My one neighbor and I share the electric boxes, but some of his made it, some didn’t.
And it’s an ice cream day because whenever my granddaughter is off from school, we go get one. We did it with my grandson the one day they were off this month together.
I’m still painting garden stuff. Got a little more done yesterday and started writing Wolf Bound, The Greystoke Wolf Pack, Book 1, which will be Bella and Devlyn’s wolf pack.
Okay, got to get busy before my granddaughter gets here. I can’t believe she’ll be out of school soon.
Have a totally awesome day!

The more I look in my garden for garden ornaments that have been hidden by growing plants or just sitting out but not even noticeable any longer because of their rusty appearance, the more I find to paint.
I have little one today, and working on potty training some more. I read where you could train them in 3 days. But it has be a concerted, concentrated effort.
Okay, back to the business of reading stories to a pre-schooler!
Have a lovely day!

This is the first daylily to flower and it’s a brand new one. I love their sunny disposition and they put out a new flower daily. There are lots of seedlings in the box, hurry up, flowers, arise from the fertile soil and let us know what you are! It was a mixed bag of perennial flower seeds. But I’m ready to just plant a bunch of annuals to give it some NOW color. I’m trying to be patient. I think the grandkids are more patient than me.
I’m working on proofing Huntress Unleashed, halfway done. I hope to have it finished before the weekend. I’m serving as the photographer for my granddaughter’s Girl Scout birthday party this weekend. And I will be working some more on The Wolf of My Eye, the Highland wolf book coming out next year. I should have that done next week. I also updated the cover for the Golden Fae. I need to redo the audio book covers for all of these that I’ve redone, but it’s more of a hassle to upload them. Maybe they’re easier now. I just need to create them.
Golden Fae
(The World of Fae, Book 8)
How does the Golden Fae get into big time trouble with one fiery dragon? When playing with fire…
All the golden fae wanted to do was to pick mushrooms for her mother—in the forbidden dragon fae territory, but Kayla sees dragons practicing for their games, and she gets caught at it. She loses her locket that she needs to have when she comes of age in just a couple of weeks so she can keep her magic as a lavender grower for the golden fae. Only now, one highly annoying dragon shifter fae has got it, and she will do anything to get it back.
Alton can’t believe it when the golden fae arrives at his friend’s castle wearing the dragon fae aura now! But he has a mission to go on, save a human and a dragon fae in the human world, and Kayla ends up there offering to help—anything to get him to give her locket back to her. Only a fae seer shoots him with an iron bolt, and Kayla risks everything, trying to get him and the captured maid safely back home again.
Now he will do almost anything to learn the mysterious golden fae’s secrets, and protect her from his own kind at all costs.
Okay, I’m off to get ready for little one. It has been storming ALL morning long from 1 on. I love storms, as long as we don’t have tornadoes and damaging hail. Of course the dogs hate the thunder. They won’t go outside in this until it stops. Some areas in Texas have had hail the size of eggs or tennis balls, not good.
The rain is supposed to be stopping in about an hour. But all my new plants needed it, so I was thrilled. Hope you have a delightfully lovely day!

It was just as showy as the other. The original little plant now has its tiny container all to itself. It had flowered once, but I missed getting a picture. Maybe I can find a little bigger pot to plant it in that will still fit the basket!
I’m off to get busy. A million things to do as usual!
Hope you are having a super great day!

The flower seedlings are there but I think I’m more impatient than the grands in waiting for them to fully appear. The two other plants are daylilies and they were bulbs so making a quicker appearance.
My grandson loves his blue box. And my granddaughter has made a fairy garden of hers.
They all have seedlings, but slow to grow. Still, they water them and check them out to see if there are any flowers yet!
Have a great one. I’m off to the torture chamber, AKA pilates.

Drift rose bushes remind me of miniature roses because they have small flowers and leaves, but they drift. The first one is in the front yard with more sun and water. The other is in the backyard in a lot of shade where the water doesn’t reach. Both bloom profusely throughout the spring and fall.
I’m off to get some writing done. Hope your day is filled with fun stuff!

I’m so excited this rosebush is getting bigger and bigger each year. Not as big as the red rosebush I have in the backyard, but it’s perfect for the front yard!
The light purple salvia is all in bloom also and it’s filled out so much.
In our hot, hot, hot Texas sun everything does better in some shade. The tomato plants I put in full sun are so much more stressed than the ones that have some shade. Some I planted under ferns and they’re really doing well. And the Asiatic lilies that are usually on a couple of inches tall are around 2 feet tall this year. Woohoo! That’s because they’re getting more shade on their roots from volunteer crepe myrtles. They haven’t bloomed yet, but soon!
I’m off to get things done. Well, other things done! Have a fun day!

I think next is the bistro set. It’s black and all rusty. I picked up some blue paint and primer also for rusty furniture. So I believe I’ll begin on that next.
I just finished proofing Huntress for Hire, yay! I seriously need to plant some of my plants. I found 2 miniature rosebushes, both that I adore. I need to plant several daylily bulbs that give me constant flowery color, 3 salvia plants, and lots of seeds. I’m going to try some floral ground covers. Maybe THEY will block out the weeds. I need to do something. lol They are perennials, but are coming from an online seed shop.
Okay, I’m off to send Huntress to my beta readers and then begin all my gardening stuff.
Have a super duper day!

Tiny purple blooms are just starting to appear. This is the biggest, most widespread it’s been. I love them because they come back every year. And they have fairy like flowers and the butterflies love them!
Off to pilates. I’d hurt my back 5 weeks ago, so haven’t been doing it. I’m going to feel it!
Have a beautiful day!
