Pigeon at Daytona Beach

Jan6

I always wonder when it’s too late to blog because I didn’t do it first thing in the morning???? Do I skip it, or get to it?

I’ve been busy cleaning out my dishes. I need to really clean out a lot of stuff I don’t use. Do you have clothes hanging in your closet you never ever wear???? The same thing with the dishes.

And it feels good to give them to someone who can use them.

Okay, so I’m off to work on Bear in Mind. I wrote a scene last night and nearly am to 46K.

I know. It should be done by now. But I was brainstorming with a good friend again and I might have a direction to go in! Maybe! I never know until I start writing the scenes.

Hope you all have a fun-filled day! 🙂

Umbrellas in the Sky

Jan4

They had such neat displays at the Houston Zoo Christmas show of lights and one of my favorites was the colorful “floating” umbrellas. This was the original photo, then artified. 🙂 My new favorite word. The giraffe was another picture I had taken.

I had both grandkids yesterday. Their dad thought he’d keep my granddaughter because she can occupy herself while he’s working. But she wanted to stay with her baby brother and me, so we took two walks, fed the turtles, did chalk drawings outside, and when he took a nap, she was drawing and coloring, then coming to help me reorganize my bear room. When I have a lot of orders at once, it looks like a tornado hit it as I’m looking for different furs, etc.

So she was organizing all my ribbons for bows and she loved it. Plus, she gave me the incentive to really get the room back in order for more bear orders!

She’s back to school today, so I’ll be picking her up and we’ll be doing our regular walk. Still working on Bear in Mind. Taking out, adding to it, taking out, adding to it!

Have a super fun, colorful day!

Artified

Jan3

I took the original photo at a zoo and “artified” it with the water, log, and fish.

I’ve got the baby today, so not getting much done!

I did work on Bear in Mind and lots more trimming yesterday between rainstorms. Great day!

Hope yours is great!

Temperatures are Dropping!

Dec22

I was out early this morning pulling up the rest of the tomato plants, moving my herb garden container, pulling up marigolds and zinnia and getting ready to empty the bird bath and water fountain, and cover the Indian hawthorn. It says it can get down to 5 degrees, but the one time we had prolonged temperatures in the teens, I didn’t think it would come back. So I cover it now if it’s going to be below freezing.

Everything else is on its own.

Okay, off to work on bears and the book!

Have a super wonderful day and if this freezing weather is coming to your neighborhood, stay warm and safe!

Classic Old Truck in Salado, Texas

Dec17

Created a winter wonderland scene for it. We usually don’t get snow….So I have to use some magic here.

Okay, I’m off to store another hose before we get down to near freezing tomorrow, check my mail, and then I’m off to work on Bear in Mind!

Have a beautiful day!

Christmas Wolf Surprise
Terry Spear

https://freshfiction.com/pick.php?id=6612

Recycled handsaw Christmas wreaths on a barn door in Salado, Texas, and old stagecoach town. I loved to visit there and one year, I saw these and had to take a picture and then created a scene with it!

I’m picking up my granddaughter from school early. They have a half day. We’re going to have ice cream after lunch and then make sock snowman. We’re having our monthly sleepover. Someday, when the toddler is older and sleeps through the night, I can have him stay over. But for now, he loves his two days he spends with me during the week.

Okay, off to get some work done because once I pick up my granddaughter, it’s a play day for Grandma too!

Have a fun day!

Really No Snow, but a Little Cooler

Dec12

Created this from 5 photos.

Cooler for us is 70 instead of 85. 🙂

So I’ve been working hard to get winners’ stuff ready to ship and need to finish a couple of bears and finishing edits on Her Wolf for the Holidays, the Highland Lachlan MacQuarrie’s story and turn it in.

But now I have baby here today. I was showing him old Christmas animated cards I’ve received and he says the robins, pheasants, and peacocks are all ducks. Quack quack. lol

Okay, I’m off to try and get some stuff packed up to ship if I can. He’s still sick so clingy. It means I can’t get as much done, but he’s so huggable so I don’t mind.

Have a wonderful day.

Mockingbird

Nov8

Bold little mockingbird on my feeder.

I couldn’t sleep so I got up at 4:30. This daylight savings is really wreaking havoc with my sleep pattern. So I got up early and have been doing all kinds of chores before my granddaughter gets here. We’re going to ship a book, get donuts, and figure it out from there. We might have a picnic at the park for lunch.I had thought of getting some stones to put under my rocks that border my flowerbeds so they don’t keep sinking into the soil and grass. But the bags are really heavy. I thought of getting some pansies or snapdragons if they have them. Or I might just look for an outdoor metal Christmas decoration. My granddaughter loves to help me put them out. I like them because day or night they’re on view.

In the meantime, my dogs are wanting out, so off to begin my regular routines…and maybe get in a tiny bit of writing before she gets here.

Have a lovely day!

The Wolf Pack

Nov7

We had wild storms yesterday afternoon that we weren’t going to have. Yay! We needed the rain. So we got an inch. I also managed to get 3,000 words on Bear in Mind, so 28K done, 42k to go. Woohoo!

This is another photo I took of the beautiful wolves at the International Wolf Center.

Hope you all have a great day. It’s supposed to be hot again here. *sigh*.

The Wolves in Play

Nov6

I took the photo of the alpha male’s brother who is getting the brunt of being picked on. Though he’s as big as his brother, and the other two wolves are smaller, Luna, the black female is the alpha female, and the other, Boltz, is her brother.

I took this photo at the International Wolf Center. Oftentimes they were just sleeping, or standing, but seeing them playing was really fun.

The Alice in Wonderland Escape Room outdoors was lots of fun yesterday. We had a phone app and as we searched through the town for the Wonderland characters, we would have riddles, puzzles, and sometimes timed events to the next phase. If we got our riddles and coins for answering others correctly when the Cheshire Cat showed up, we reduced the time to our overall amount we were accumulating. But if we got it wrong, down the rabbit hole we went. A lot of folks were dressed in costume. We saw a lot of Tweedle Dees and Tweedle Dums and a pair of sisters who were dressed the same were pushing a buggy carrying two fluffy dogs dressed as cards-just adorable. It took us 2 hours and 6800 steps to free Alice and we actually took her home with us!

So I’m going backwards on word count on Bear in Mind. I had a scene in there that would create too many characters and two many subplots, and then I had to sort out some of my scenes so that they made sense once I cut out the other. I’m back up to 25K and hope I can keep moving forward now on the story!

Speaking of falling backwards, did you set your clocks back if you have Daylight Savings Time in your area? I just need to reset my car clock. I woke at 4 am and couldn’t get back to sleep, but I guess that was really 5 am.

Hope you get back on track today like I hope to! Have a great day!
