Deer Resting at a Loch

Sep28

I loved the fall colors reflected in the water. And way across the loch was a deer resting in Scotland.

I’m at 59,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Yay! I was able to plant my new chives and thyme in pots on my patio. Hopefully, they’ll survive there. They died where I had them in the same planter against the fence. I couldn’t get out in this heat to water and weed them, so hopefully with them being on the patio, I can take care of them even on these hot sunny days.

They will last through winter when we have mild ones.

It was cool enough in the morning that I was able to weed some too. But it is still getting to 97.

Okay, I’m off to work on the story!

Hope you’re cooling down if you’re living in a sauna zone!

Brown Bear in Minnesota

Sep24

I took the photo of him at the bear reserve in Minnesota. Then I mixer brush painted him in Photoshop.

Up to 54,000 words on Wolf Betrayal!

Still roasting!

Have a lovely day!

Vintage Truck in Fall

Sep22

I took the photo of the rusted truck covered in plants and trees at a fall festival in Omaha one year. I finally played around with it to create this–where the plants reclaim their world.

Here is the original!

Love vintage and rusted-out vehicles. They need some loving care.

I reached 50,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Didn’t think I would get any words yesterday, but they finally came to me last night.

Another scorching day.

Okay, off to write. Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday!

Midhope Castle Outer Building

Sep21

I loved the outer buildings, this one covered with moss and ivy in Scotland. Midhope Castle was where some of Outlander was filmed.

Trying to figure out a way to replant chives without losing them in all this heat this time. I moved the box from the garden where I couldn’t easily water it and weed it. It’s on the patio now where I’ve grown them before. So hoping I can take care of them there and they’re thrive. The grandkids love cutting chives for our mashed potatoes.

It’s going to feel like the 100s for several more weeks. Ugh.

Hope your weather is just right!

Orange Cat for Caturday!

Sep19

Cats are so elegant. Whenever I see one, out comes the camera.

I’m at 44,000 words on Bear in Pursuit! Minimum goal is 70K, so getting there.

I wanted to get out and do some weeding, but it’s sooooo hot constantly and all sun today.

Off to write in the cool! Have a lovely day!

Storm Coming?

Sep1

Despite the heat, I’ve been getting some hedge trimming done. We might get some of the storm that’s brewing in the Gulf. I hope we get rain, but not wind! I need to run in and get some groceries before that hits us, if it does. I took this picture of the clouds from an airplane.

And I made it to 19,000 words on Wolf Betrayal. Yay!

Off to get my day started. Hope yours is great and that we get rain!

Moon Reflected in the Pond

Aug24

I love reflections!

More blood work today, ugh. But the good news is that it’s not in Houston, AND I’m nearly done writing The Chosen Fae. I think. I’ve written from beginning to end, but need to go back and reread and make sure that I’m not missing anything. But it’s nearly done!

Okay, back to work!

It’s going to feel like 104 tonight, and now 106 tomorrow. Ugh. No cool down for us.

Hope it’s cooling down where you live!

Yellow Climbing Roses

Aug20

Pretty lattice fence with yellow climbing rose.

It’s been really hard on the flowers here because of the intense heat and no rain.

I finished proofing Deadly Misfortunes and I’m working on the next process. 🙂 And then I’ll be back to The Chosen Fae.

Hope you have a delightful day!

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!
