Scarlet Ibis at Moody Gardens, Galveston, Texas. They were great at posing for me. It’s the first time I’ve gotten some really lovely shots of them anywhere.
I managed 2,000 words on my “off” day, so I was thrilled. I have been lucky because I keep thinking of scenes to write, which is a lot of the problem with creating a story. Getting stuck.
Okay, I’m about ready to get started. My sock thief, Tanner, took off with the toddler’s socks. I found one outside in the yard. Need to still find the other. Tanner! He’s such a goofy little Havanese dog.
Have a fun one!

We had 2.5 inches of rain the day before yesterday and this little female was so wet.
Well, little one is coming this morning and we’re going on all kinds of adventures–the grocery store (he loves it!), the post office, I have him carry in a package and he loves being Grandmother’s little helper, Walmart (we rarely go so he thinks it’s the greatest)–and then home again and time for lunch, and his nap. And then it’s time to get big sister from school on our daily walk.
I managed to get to 14,000 words yesterday on Huntress Unleashed, so I’m about 4,000 words ahead of schedule. Yay!
It helps when life gets in the way or I get stuck on the story and begin to fall behind on daily word count goals. Two days a week–when I have little one, I have no word count goals–just in case I can’t make it. We stay busy. But I try to get in a 1,000 during the day while he’s napping and after he goes home at night. That gives me a little bit of a cushion for my weekly word count goal of 10K if for whatever reason, I fall behind.
Okay, I’m off to finish packing books up for shipment and feed the dogs, etc, etc, etc.
Have a wonderfully adventurous day!

Little one is coming. I finished Dreaming of the Highland Wolf and need to send it to my beta readers. And then I’m off to the next great adventure where my characters are waiting to have their own fun. They’re not allowed to do it without me though.
Hope your day is filled with joy!

I was learning how to make a misty backdrop using a photo and then I added more flowers in the garden. I used colors from her gown to set the tone of the mist. I want to try to do this with some of my own photos too.
Well, yesterday, I tripped over pine tree roots that are coming out of the ground. They’re right in the path to the gate and dummy me was wearing slippers, so not the best footwear. I fell and broke a toe. I planned to walk all week to the school and back to get my granddaughter since last week it rained all week and this week it’s supposed to be nice, but I don’t think that’s happening this week. Annoying!
I’ve buried the roots with dirt before, but the grass doesn’t take root before the dirt just vanishes. So not sure what I’m going to do about it. I’ll try adding more dirt though.
Hope your day is super fun!!! Little one will be here shortly, so need to get things done! As I limp around doing it.

I took the photo of the cheetah at the zoo in Omaha.
So I’ve been cleaning out the fridge, love how I can take so many pieces out to clean–drawers, shelves, other pieces and I even remembered how they all went back in! But there’s a welded piece I can’t remove and some of the defrosting turkey juices went under it. I’m still working on getting that cleaned. At least the fridge is like new again, except for that minor issue.
I’ve also been cleaning out the bird feeders. With so much rain, they were all a mess. And I’m cutting back all the ferns and other plants that died back when the freeze hit us. So that’s a work in progress. All that will come back, but I just need to cutaway the old to allow the new growth to come out.
And right now, I’m back to work on Dreaming of the Highland Wolf. 🙂
Hope your day is going great!

Supposed to be an urban future for the Awake challenge this month. I envisioned some areas being under water–that didn’t used to be. Speaking of which, we have severe thunderstorms most of the day today, and the rain will continue through Thursday or Friday, unless it decides to change it mind!
I managed to reach 36K on Dreaming. I think I’ll end up with about 40K. I’m off to work!
Have a wonderful day!
