Storm Clouds, Thunder, NO Rain, Argh

Aug10

Every day we have these and no rain. We desperately need it!

Up to 46,000 on The Chosen Fae! Have to give blood and then pick up the grandkids so probably won’t get much done today on the story. I have them on Tuesday all day and then they start school on Wednesday! It’s so early here.

I’ll pick them up every afternoon, which is a blessing, since last year I was too sick to do it.

Hope you get some rain! And us too!

Humongous Mushrooms!

Aug8

I don’t know why, but I love mushrooms. I took my grandson to the turtle pond after swimming and caught sight of these huge mushrooms behind a bed of flowers! So cool.

I reached 40K on The Chosen Fae! Woohoo! I usually write about 60 to 65K on them.

Good news is my blood counts are pretty good. But I’m going to have to be on chemo until November of 2027. Ugh. At least. Every time I think I’m going to be off it, they tell me I’m going to be on it for another year. I started in Feb of 2025. It’s to give my bone marrow time to rebuild so it can fight off the cancer, the nurse told me. It’s an aggressive cancer, so, sigh.

I’m hoping to pull more weeds today, they have taken over, but it’s soooo hot, it’s hard to do. And the mosquitoes are voracious.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Cardinal Baby and Momma

Aug6

So I had my LONG, LONG, LONG day at the hospital yesterday. At least I don’t have to do that again for 4 weeks. But they told me I’ll probably have to be on chemo for another year to allow the bone marrow to build up.

Sigh

I’m working on The Chosen Fae, did edits and filling in scenes. It’s up to 35,000 words. Yay!

Okay, got to get to work. Had my Hep A final shot, so I think between that and being at the hospital where they collected 14 vials of blood, I’m tired.

Have a super fun day!

Giraffe and Antelope?

Jul20

Taken at one of the zoos I had visited. They were so cute–both with long skinny legs, long skinny necks, but one is tall and the other is small.

I’m at 62K, working toward 63K on Deadly Misfortunes. Having the grandkids all weekend meant no writing. I still have my granddaughter all week, but we have a lot of fun. And I have to say, after being so sick most of last year and barely able to see the grands, I’m so glad things are more back to normal. 🙂

Hope you have a delightful day!!

Max When He Was Little, Thinking of Escape

Jul19

Max, the Havanese, was only a year old when I took this picture. He wasn’t supposed to leave the backyard. A few times, the dogs got out, but Max would really run off. Tanner wouldn’t. Even though he’s the alpha of the two, he would stay near me or come when I called. Inside, Max is always on my lap, so it was interesting how different they were when outside.

Now, at 11 years of age, they will go out to greet the family, but come right back in. I haven’t tried to have them in the front yard with me without a leash. If they see another dog, they’ll go after him. If it’s small dogs, one lady had 5 small dogs she walked, my dogs will want to meet up with them. But someone had a big dog and they tried to chase it off. Ugh.

I had the grandkids overnight so we’re going to the mailbox, grocery store, and then to the pool for a couple of hours. We’ll have lunch at the pool.

Hope your day is going great!!

Little, Medium, Giant

Jul13

The Black Eyed Susans in all kinds of sizes! Little itty bitties, medium, and giants! I’ve never seen them like this. It’s the 2nd year for them, so maybe that’s why.

Today is blood test day. ugh. Wish they would make it every other week. Up to 52,000 words on Deadly Misfortunes!

Have a lovely day!!

White Crepe Myrtle in Bloom!

Jul12

All the crepe myrtles in my backyard are volunteers except for the Purple Magic. So these were all planted by birds.

Usually, I like colorful flowers, but I love this white one too. It’s very showy.

I’m up to 51,000 on Deadly Misfortunes. I’m excited about getting closer to the end. I started back to the beginning and was adding a few things that were important throughout, so it takes longer to write, than if I was just writing straight scenes.

We got an inch of rain, woohoo! We so needed it. Most days, we get notifications about approaching thunderstorms, and nothing happens, so I was glad we finally had rain. Same thing with today. 2-6 pm, thunderstorms predicted. Will they happen? Only time will tell.

Hope the weather isn’t too bad in your area!!!

Pink Pom Pom Zinna

Jul10

I don’t know what they’re really called, but that’s what I call them. I love all zinnias, but these kinds are my favorite.

Off to write some more. I’m at 48K, wanting to get to 50K today.

Hope your day is fine!

Zinnia

Jul8

Butterflies and bees love the zinnia flowers. Even though they are annual flowers, I save the seeds and plant them in the spring.

Well, my lousy bedroom alarm clock told me it was an hour later than it was. I’m dressed, ready for blood work, and when I put on my watch and saw my computer clock, realize it was an hour earlier. Ugh.

Hope you are having a better day than mine. Hopefully mine will get better. lol

Hope you stay cool today!
