Hot, Hot Summer!

Great news! I found the copy of the orders I needed!!! Now I can retire. And quit looking for them. Of course, where were they? In a safe place. I knew I had them. I had to use them to get my retired army reserve ID. And I thought I’d already looked for them in that one place, but I was looking for something else at the time, and missed it!

But now I have a new search on.

In the meantime, I’m still cleaning out stuff and organizing, so it’s all good.

And now I can get back to the business of finishing up You Had Me at Cougar!

We had a wild and exciting day yesterday! Making fairy wings and wands and pictures with Tinker Bell and other fairies. And then it was ballet, but my granddaughter wouldn’t go in, and then the other half of the class is agro and she loves that one. It’s a different teacher and more gymnastics stuff.

I’ve got to walk before it gets too beastly! Have a super fun day and if it’s as hot there as it is here, stay cool!

Fog and Rain and One Shrub for All Seasons

We’ve had some gloomy days where it looked like this all day, perfect for writing spooky stories, don’t you think?

Raindrops on Berries

And I had to run out and get some shots of raindrops dripping off berries.

These are on the Firestorm Pyracantha, and it’s fun to see the seasons change.

Okay, so got my seasons out of order, but you get the idea! I couldn’t sleep, so got up to do my blog during the free Internet time. I’m always running out here.

Have a lovely Wednesday. Making a little progress on The Viking’s Highland Lass. It’s halfway done!

I’m writing about fog in the story.

Purple Flower Day

These are from my birthday flowers, so not exactly wildflowers, but most of the rest are!

These are so tiny, barely noticeable when I took the picture of the mushroom.

Not sure on these either.

And that is where I was for five hours last Saturday, having fun, selling books, talking to dog owners, and trying to stay cool. I love animals and it was like going to a dog show like I used to do when I was younger and seeing all the different breeds. And of course it made me want to have one again.

They had dachshund races and dress up contests, just all kinds of things.  And they gave away free dog dishes and leashes.

Afterward, my daughter and SIL and their Pembroke Welsh Corgi “puppy”, he’s a little over a year old now, had come in to visit, so that night we went out to dinner and saw a movie, and then all the next day while they were off to see his parents to celebrate Father’s Day, I played with Sir Rilo. Once they left, I jumped on my mss–A SEAL Wolf for Sale. Doing last minute changes, probably 2 days worth, and then it will be done, finished, the end and off to my publisher.

And that is why I’ve neglected my blog for the weekend! 🙂

I want a Havanese. They don’t shed, great personality, and they’re adorable. I had a black standard poodle last, and lost her. I’ve also had a yellow Lab, a white standard poodle, and silky terriers.

Do you have a dog or three? What are they? Do you have any of these? I wish I could have gotten pictures of more, but I was selling and talking to a couple of young writers also, but I really did enjoy myself. 🙂

Hope you have a lovely Monday! I’m back to rereading A SEAL Wolf for Sale so I can turn it in!
