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

Storms coming!

Jul2

We need rain again and supposedly were going to have strong thunderstorms this afternoon. Maybe it will cool things down a bit. We can use the rain!

I’m up to 29K on One Enchanted Evening. Title might change. I’ve had trouble with the cover artist not responding to my correspondence, so the book cover I paid good money for may have to be changed out to something else. So irritating when contractual obligations mean nothing. The worst part is I have several covers I bought from her, so the cost really adds up. But I’m still having fun with the book in the meantime!!!

Have a super great day! I’m back to the book!

Eye of the Octopus

Jun28

Isn’t he/she beautiful? They usually hide in rocks and crevices, but this one was very active at the Omaha zoo that day. So I caught several photos of her beautiful eye!

I finished proofing Bear in Pursuit and so I’m working on getting it ready for publication. Woohoo!

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Argh!!!

Jun22

So I had that lovely beefsteak tomato large and ripening when we came back from our vacation and I went to pick it yesterday. It was in this nice little bag to protect it from caterpillars and birds and guess what? Something tore a hole in the sack and devoured my tomato!

Why it matters? That is the only large tomato I’ve had on ANY of my tomato plants. Story of my life. The cherry tomatoes are always prolific, but the others, no go for me. Next year? I buy the tomatoes from the store and have something to eat.

So there, whatever you were that ate my tomato!

Off to do blood work. I wish it would go to once every two weeks or so, but while I’m on chemo through October, I’m afraid it will be every week forever.

Have a super great day and may your hard work provide bountiful rewards!
